404 errors and html file names with "&" and "+" in them



Hi!

I have noticed in the log files that some file names that I have chosen that include characters like "+" or "&" are not found and create an error 404.

I believe the file looked for is a redirect from search engines like altavista.com who

[Fri Feb 23 01:47:29 2001] [error] [client 210.150.25.154] File does not exist: /var/html/grizz/www/f-10com-Hus&Wifes.htm

The file looked for was:
f-10com-Hus&Wifes.htm

The actual file name is:
f-10com-Hus&Wifes.htm

Are there certain characters that one should avoid in file names?
