Error with Simple Address and documents

Vote:
 

I have a quite puzzling issue that i am faced with. I have created a page in episerver and changed the simple address of the page to "MyDoc"(sample). I change the page to point to a document in the VPP. The issue i am having is when in edit mode and i click on the page, my document comes up perfectly.(How it should work). But the kicker is, when i go to the site and enter the simple url for the page, it throws a error(UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.)

This is quite puzzling becuase if i don't link to a document and link to another site on the web, such as www.cnn.com. It works. Could someone please help me with this issue.

One way to solved this is to make the shortcut be a shortcut to an other website, but instead of point to a full url, only point to

/YourFilePage/YourFileName.doc
