How to encode utr that contains '.'/period

Hi,
here is URL which I want to encode
http://www.xyz.com/band/pra.nam
As last word contains '.', after opening this page it shows error like
"HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
Though I have used URL Encoding using Server.UrlEncode("MyURL"); this method.
It is running perfectly for other special characters but it shows above error for '.'
Its not replacing '.' by '%2E'
Please help
Thanks in advance

Are you sure that the Web Server handles the .nam extension? IIS f.ex does not allow you to access unknown filetypes. So you either need to add a handler to that extension or you need to specify a mime-type for the extension

Got it.
thanks
I have added UrlRoutingHandler to web.config.It resolved my problem to some extent.
But I still want to know why Server.UrlEncode() not resolving '.' to '%2E'? It doesn't make any difference

It's because UrlEncode calls a method method called IsSafe() within System.Web.Utility, where the "a-> z", "A-> Z", "0->9" aswell as "\' ( ) * - . _ !" are considered Safe characters within an url.. all other will be encoded by it hexadecimal value
