Subject: PC-Pine v4.31 and URL with special characters

Hello,

I'm using PC-Pine v4.31 and when I try to open an URL with special
characters, like:
http://..../pub/english.cgi?op=rmail

Pine surrounds the string with single quotes. Netscape Communicator (as
nearly any other Windows program) won't interprete these characters
as quotes and passes them on to the WWW proxy, of course the connection
will fail then.

SQUID output:

While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://'http//..../pub/english.cgi?op=rmail'
            ^ without colon

The following error was encountered:

     Invalid URL

And the Communicator is displaying the URL as:
http://'http://..../pub/english.cgi?op=rmail'
            ^ with colon

Is there a patch or a trick to prevent PC Pine to add these quotes to the
URL?

Bye,
