Dots in this kind of urls are not supported by nopcommerce, all the urls of products and categories are cleaned to keep seo friendly urls.

You can tweak nopcommerce to allow dots (changing the source code or changing the UrlRecord table values) but when you add a dot to the url, the .Net extensionless handler used to process mvc request will not catch that request anymore, that means that you will recieve a 404 error because the web server will be searching for a phisycal file.

If the dot is mandatory by your requirements you can use the url rewrite module at iis level and rewrite all the urls (for example all the urls finished with .cfd) removing the dot, so internally you will have www.youstore.com/categorycfd or www.youstore.com/category, this can be tricky because you need to keep dots for file paths as images.
