Of course. But make sure you don't serve to the rebol scanner a string that will be scanned
before the URL is constructed. This is OK:
>> url: http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^DJI&a=1&b=26&c=2004&d=1&e==
25&f=2005&g=d&ignore=.csv

http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^DJI&a=1&b=26&c=2004&d=1&e==
25&f=2005&g=d&ignore=.csv
But this is not:
>> url: to-url "http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^DJI&a=1&b=26&c=2004&d=1&e=25&f=2005&g=d&ignore=.csv"
>> url

http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=%04JI&a=1&b=26&c=2004&d=1&e=25&f=2005&g=d&ignore=.csv
The reason is that rebol has found "^D" to be %04 instead of #"^" alone to be %5E. You
need to replace #"^" before the rebol scanner gets a chance to find it.
Maybe this is worth a mention to RT feedback? Maybe 'read should be able to fix #"^"
on its own?
