I am trying to load a file using jQuery that contains the "@" symbol in the file name. Other files will load, however files with "@" do not. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks.

var file = $(this).text();  //div with file name
$.get(file, function(data) {

In this case your file name is a URL. Read this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19509028/at-symbol-inside-urls – Sergiu Paraschiv Feb 06 '14 at 19:53
What does your server do with it, what's the response (check network tab in devtools)? What exactly is the URL? – Bergi Feb 06 '14 at 19:56
It's a div containing a file name that is on the server. jQuery reads the file and returns the contents. It works for file names without "@". – user3281195 Feb 06 '14 at 19:57
@Sergiu replacing "@" with "%40" did not work. – user3281195 Feb 06 '14 at 20:00

Well of course it does not work. Your webserver must be configured to convert `%40` back to an `@` char. – Sergiu Paraschiv Feb 06 '14 at 20:02
Can you provide any guidance on how to configure this (Apache Linux)? – user3281195 Feb 06 '14 at 20:04
