URL encode???

Can anyone please help explain why IIS 6.0 is encoding
all url by default. For example, if I type in the
browser my.domain.com/test_test it would be translated
my.domain.com/test%5Ftest/. When it does it I notice web
applicatins that uses cookies are unable to retrieve the
cookies. Is there a way to turn off URL enncoding? With
IIS 5 and IIS 4 if i type in the same URL it would
instead translate it to my.domain.com/test_test/. Please
help!

I'm not aware of any switch to "turn on/off URL encoding" in IIS -- it'd be
impossible to implement and highly insecure if implemented.

I suspect you are running something on the server or client which is doing
this extra encoding.

Are you sure that IIS is actually doing that encoding?
- Maybe your web browser is the one that is encoding the URL *before*
sending it to IIS
- Maybe you have some 302 redirector page that is doing URLEncode on the
redirection before sending it to the browser

Check the IIS Web log files to see what URL IIS receives.
