    Package: w3m
    Version: 0.5.1-1
    Severity: normal

    Hi,

    I found out that w3m is unable to load files from disk that contain the question mark (?). For instance:

    $ w3m 'songtexte.php?lang=de.html'
    w3m: Can't load songtexte.php?lang=de.html.

    And won't also load the file if the character is HTML-escaped:
    $ mv 'songtexte.php?lang=de.html' 'songtexte.php%3Flang=de.html'
    $ w3m songtexte.php%3Flang\=de.html
    w3m: Can't load songtexte.php%3Flang=de.html.

    But renaming it to something else (@ instead of ?) allowed me to see the
    file with w3m.
