======================================================================

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 3.0, 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========

If certain characters are present at the end of a URL, the contents of the page
pointed to by the URL are returned to the browser. If the URL points to an ASP
page, the contents of the ASP script file are returned to the browser instead of
the processed results of the ASP page. This problem occurs on Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Pan Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions of IIS
4.0, and the English version of IIS 4.0 if a Far East language pack is installed
and set as the system default locale from the Regional Settings in Control
panel.
