Space in routing gives 404

I currently have this route defined (among others): "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{designation}" being:

now my problem is: "http://server/Home/Index/1/teste" works but "http://server/Home/Index/1/teste " with a space in the end doesn't.

IIS is giving me a 404 and mvc is not even starting for this request.

Anyone experienced this behavior? Anything I need to change?

With best regards

Look at this post:

"The resource cannot be found." error when there is a "dot" at the end of the url

it talks about similar problem with '.' (dot) character at the end of a url. Think it's the same problem as yours.

Space is an invalid character in URL's. The browser should not even send it.

If you're calling this in code, try using HttpUtility.UrlEncode( path ) before sending / redirecting.

Space cannot be used as a plain text character in a url. You have to encode it as:

%20

E.g.

http://www.testDomain.com/test%20page
