"Link to File" does not work with this URL.
https://secured.whir.../$FILE/L-55.pdf
But "Link to File" works with this URL
http://136.166.4.200...vice_Manual.pdf
Is it because of the length of the URL that it does not work?
If so can I adjust the max length a URL can be?
The URL that does not work I can use with SMF download system just fine. http://www.smfhacks....-system-pro.php
I found a bit of a work around. If I go to bit.ly and shorten up the https URL and use the shorter URL for the "Link to File" it will work, but it misses the file size info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It's because the dollar sign is converted to an entity by IPB for security reasons. I'm iffy on changing this. Will think it over and do some testing.

Also applies to urls with this sign - "!". Just found this today...
Added this:
Now it's working well. Hope it will not cause any danger for board's security...
$info['record_location'] = html_entity_decode($info['record_location']);Before thois:
$this->registry->output->silentRedirect( $info['record_location'] );

It shouldn't. I will probably end up doing something similar (we have a proper "decode" method that handles all the translations our input processor does that I will use instead).

I had to update IPSText::UNhtmlspecialchars() to unconvert the $ symbol, but otherwise I'm using this method in a similar manner as Aoyagi Ritsuka suggested. Note there are two places in the file this change needs to be made.
