Perhaps it is something to do with the browser I use - not sure really.
It would be nice for the URL in the report to work.

It probably is a browser issue -- some exploits are sensitive to the format of the request, and browsers can encode the URLs before sending them.

To be sure, you could test by telnet'ing into the web server and issuing the command by hand. You may need to do a packet capture to see exactly what the plugin is sending, so you can replicate it manually.

So showing them the contents of a boot.ini / passwd file from the remote doesn't work for them?
