how to escape a caret
[1/5] from: kenlo:pop3free at: 20-Apr-2001 13:55
How can I escape the caret (^) in
page: read http://whatever.com/cgi?data=^something
\^ or "^" or ^^ or %5e does not work. I've tried.

This works for me:
>> print "^^"
^

I think url is not parsed this way. Try
page: read http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^^HSI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv
page: read to-url "http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^^HSI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv"
They all fail.

Sorry, skimmed through my emails too fast, didn't read the context of your
question.
You're right, URLs in REBOL don't like carets (but the double carets do
evaluate to a single). I'll suppress the urge to make a pun out of this.

Try url-encoding the caret, as in
>> read to-url "http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%5dHSI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv"
== {"]HSI",0.00,"N/A","N/A",N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A,N/A
}
