WebDAV can not search directory with specific character??   

Hi All,

I have a customer, which create a public folder with specific character in 
foder name, let me see, "contacts & test",

when I do search with webdav.

It always return 400 Error,

I have checked Miscrosoft Exchange SDK said unsupported character, which 
includes " & ", however, my customer has this specific character in it.

Is there any body meet this problem? please help me!!

My query string are : 

<?xml version='1.0'?><searchrequest xmlns='DAV:' ><sql>SELECT 
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/category" "DAV:displayname" FROM 
SCOPE('SHALLOW TRAVERSAL OF "http://192.168.0.13/public/contacts 0x26 test"') 
WHERE "DAV:isfolder"=true and "DAV:ishidden"=false </sql></searchrequest>

<?xml version='1.0'?><searchrequest xmlns='DAV:' ><sql>SELECT 
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/category" "DAV:displayname" FROM 
SCOPE('SHALLOW TRAVERSAL OF "http://192.168.0.13/public/contacts0 & test"') 
WHERE "DAV:isfolder"=true and "DAV:ishidden"=false </sql></searchrequest>

Re: WebDAV can not search directory with specific character??   

You will need to URL-encode the folder name.  I think the & character will 
be replaced by %26 or %2526 .
