Lotus Notes 8.5: % in attachment file name. Bad request: Http request contains a malformed escape sequence

Some attachments have % in their file name. SO when I access the attachment file with the URL, it returns back with Cod 400.

Reason: Http request contains a malformed escape sequence.

I have been searching around and saw somebody say Lotus Notes does not allow to access file with % in their name.

I saw a solution which is put HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent=1 in notes.ini file.

Firstly, I don't know where to find the notes.ini file. I saw one in IBM\Lotus\Domino\ another in IBM\Lotus\Notes\

Actually, I have tried too add the line into both files. But nothing happened. I still got the same error. Is it because I did it in the wrong way? Or is there anything else I can do?

You would need to update the notes.ini on the server if you are working on a server. You can update it also from Domino Administrator if you have access to that. See this snippet from Notes Help...

  1. From the Domino Administrator, open the Domino Directory and click the Configuration tab.

  2. To edit an existing Configuration Settings document, highlight it and then click Edit Configuration. To create a new configuration document, highlight the server for which the Configuration Settings document will apply, then click Add Configuration.

  3. To modify NOTES.INI settings on the server, click the NOTES.INI Settings tab. This tab lists a number of current settings in the server's NOTES.INI file.

  4. To add or change a setting, click Set/Modify Parameters to display all settings that you can set in the Configuration Settings document. Select the setting(s) you want to add/modify.

  5. Save and close the document.

Like Dave said, try and give us a little more information.
