[texhax] footnote with url

[Robert Wilson]

Hello Sir,
   Firstly, be sure you are using the url package or equivalent. Secondly,
be sure to escape all special characters: % in this case, which is LaTeX's
comment character. Try this:

This is a test.\footnote{\url{
http://www.teledyne-si.com/infrared_visible_fpas/Teledyne
\%20Imaging\%20Sensor\%20-\%20Infrared\%20SPIE\%20Paper\%20_7021-20_.pdf}}

where you will note I preceded each % with a backslash.

Happy TeXing!
