The semicolon introduces comments in REBOL, i.e. the scanner considers ;sz=468x60;ord=979190170 to be a comment in your script and does not include it in the URL. Workarounds: Either: to-url "http://ad2.doubleclick.net/jump/sonar.bebits/default;sz=468x60;ord=979190170" Or: http://ad2.doubleclick.net/jump/sonar.bebits/default%3Bsz=468x60%3Bord=979190170 %3B is the hex representation of the ASCII code of ";". -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]
