oh weird, the link keeps getting mangled when I paste it.

Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid

this works for me?

EDIT: This is bizzare. the forward slash between letters and DCP keeps getting replaced by %2F

It seems lemmy doesn't like the direct letter url. But you can find it by searching: https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/search?keyword=DCP-LETT-3272.xml

It seems like they have a bug where they should be doing a url deencode on the document id url parameter, but they aren't
