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?
