Re: AW: [squid-users] Re: URL's that begins with a minus

No, it isn't.

This address returns 404:
http://~kol.deviantart.com/

For example heres a page with some of his work:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/28283565/

Then try to click his name (-kol), and there's the problem.

Dig returns:

In this thread,
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=426658&s=?

the author do however call him "~Kol" but check out the link "Read this
for more info".

Clicking that link seems to work for the others in that thread but not
for me,
so I suspected Squid to be at fault. (standards or not)

And http://kol.deviantart.com/ is someone else.
