Regarding special entities in filename (eg. &)
Vote:
We have a problem related to files saved in folders with & in the names:
For ex. /folder/f & g/file.gif the file will give a bad request when accessed with full URL: http://localhost/project/folder/f & g/file.gif
What is kind of strange is that the URL usually are decoded to: http://localhost/project/folder/f%20&%20g/file.gif where the spaces are rewritten to %20, but the & is not rewritten to %26. Manually rewriting the URL to: http://localhost/project/folder/f%20%26%20g/file.gif does give the same result with an error Message: Bad Request.
This is in with the VirtualPathVersioningProvider.

When requesting a file with a '&' in it's virtual path from FileManager (through doublclick or rightclick option OpenFile) the '&' will not be encoded as you pointed out. I have reported this issue to our tracking system.
However if you use that file in page content (e.g. by inserting file link in editor) then the '&' will be encoded.

Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved?
I seem to have a similar issue with R1 SP3. Although when using the file within page content is also returns a bad request.
Just noticed it encodes the & to %26, although still returns a bad request, when the file name doesn't contain an & it works.
