No valid arguments supplied, path does not start with slash!

Description

the code should look something like this to get to a resource file in a course: https://msmoodle.madisoncity.k12.al.us/file.php/276/Parent_Survey.doc

However, it's converting it to this in 1.9.5:
https://msmoodle.madisoncity.k12.al.us/file.php?file=%252F276%252FParent_Survey.doc

and giving the following error message:
No valid arguments supplied, path does not start with slash!

If I manually type in the address, I can download the resource. Please help. Also, this worked fine in a previous version of 1.8.7. using Firefox. IE doesn't work, it has it's own encoding of strings and converts "/" to code.

Thank you,
Cathy McQuitty

Hello,
unfortunately IIS is notoriously problematic for handling of slash arguments in URL, you can try to change the slasharguments setting or search our docs or forums for "slashargument" - you might find some how-tos for IIS configuration.
