I don't think that's a valid URL. The period should be escaped somehow - more often than not, that period is supposed to be with the sentence, not the URL. So I move to note it as known issue.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

It went to the appropriate page for me like that, but it had "there is not text on this page" instead of the information. When I added the period in my line, I got the info.

Must append period to see post. Anyway - we have decided it is not a problem.

Easy enough to avoid by using html instead.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
