That's true, and using them would be one of the syntax errors I mentioned
(although I didn't spell them out, which might have been good to do).
Still, even though "/" and ":" are reserved characters, I think many systems
tolerate them.

 Sorry to jump in the middle of the conversation.. But just remark.

  passing URL's in the GET needs urlencoding since : and / is not alloaved

 www.yoursite.com/ascript?par1=http://www.othersite.com/page2.html is not a
valid URL. It must be written as



 www.yoursite.com/ascript?par1=http%3a%2f%2fwww.othersite.com%2fpage2.html
