Um, I meant Google Groups and I know it's not the greatest newsreader. Briefly, full URLs work but partial ones don't get the completion that most modern browsers provide, so fail. > Using an example URL: > > http://www.example.com/ > > http://www.example.com The two above work, via Google Groups' intermediate yes/no redirection page with a faithful copy or not of the trailing slash /. For example: http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.example.com/ > www.example.com This one fails at/before the redirection page with a 404 error for http://www.google.com/www.example.com The variants of a "real" URL behave the same way.
