    urlReplacing can't replace character with exclamation point

    I am using umbraco 6.2.4. I am attempting to use the config/umbracoSettings.config urlReplacing section to replace a charter with an exclamation point in the umbraco urls.

    My problem is that no matter what I do, the exclamation points all get replaced by '-' characters. I can redirect ' ' to '', but as a test, I attempted to redirect ' ' to '!' and nothing happened. If I then create a second rule that redirects '!' to '', my ' ' characters will redirect all the way to '_'.

    Why is umbraco overriding my '!' redirects? How can I work around this?

    <urlReplacing removeDoubleDashes="true">
      <char org=" ">-</char>
      <char org="&quot;"></char>
      <char org="'"></char>
      <char org="%"></char>
      <char org="."></char>
      <char org=";"></char>
      <char org="/"></char>
      <char org="\"></char>
      <char org=":"></char>
      <char org="#"></char>
      <char org="+">plus</char>
      <char org="*">star</char>
      <char org="&amp;"></char>
      <char org="?"></char>
      <char org="æ">ae</char>
      <char org="ø">oe</char>
      <char org="å">aa</char>
      <char org="ä">ae</char>
      <char org="ö">oe</char>
      <char org="ü">ue</char>
      <char org="ß">ss</char>
      <char org="Ä">ae</char>
      <char org="Ö">oe</char>
      <char org="|">-</char>
      <char org="&lt;"></char>
      <char org="&gt;"></char>
      <char org="!">!</char>
    </urlReplacing>

    Hi Mark

    I think it's because exclamation marks simply are not safe to use in url's would be mys guess.

    Why is the exclamation mark important for you to have in the url?

    Don't know if you can perhaps make use of the advice given in this post perhaps? http://www.dwfaq.com/tutorials/miscellaneous/speciallinksencoding.asp
