Where ever I had a space in hte file name it now shows
a "%20" in the url, I can easly replace the space with
a "_" insted, should I or is it of like it is???
I don't know give me sone feed back on the %20 crap seams
to work fine with IIS 6.0... 11  1723 
Spaces are not allowed in URLs (along with several other characters) -
please check the HTTP specification (or use google). Instead, they need to
be encoded, their encoded value is %20

No server will understand an request for a URI with a space in it.
AFAIK The only browser where spaces "work" is Internet Explorer, and this is
only because IE automagically encodes the spaces for you before it sends the
request out to the server.

The following browsers all encode the space. I cannot speak for others, but

What about other browsers or devices? Isn't it preferable to just not use
spaces in file naming conventions than have some browser and/or device

Possibly, but I wasn't passing judgment. I was merely responding to the
quoted text.
I admit I am a bit conflicted on the issue, however.
On one hand, I recognize that many of us have content that is managed by
contributors, some of whom are ignorant of -- or simply ignore -- these file
naming conventions. I don't want to police my contributors and I simply
don't care that much about the user with a vintage 1997 browser. To him, the
web is a stream of broken or crippled pages anyway.
On the other hand, I almost always defer to standards. And RFC1738 declares
URLs with spaces to be "unsafe". http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
I personally have never used spaces in URLs. But I can't bring myself to
criticize those who do.
One further point to ponder -- the HTML spec warns users to always consider
URIs as case-sensitive, but this seems to be ignored with equal zeal. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-uri
Progress?

One can always provide instructions for the user, or reject a contribution
if it doesn't fall within your accepted naming conventions.
I actually wasn't talking about people with vintage browsers. I was
talking about people with other kinds of devices, telephones, things that
haven't been invented yet, etc.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Thanks for posting that. I read it and it corrected a misconception I had.
I was under the impression that dashes in file names were unsafe as well,
but apparently they are not, and some search engines seem to be able see
keywords in URIs like www.example.com/hotels-paris-france.asp.

By what means do the contributors contribute? Maybe there is a way to
filter/reject things that aren't formated properly and distribute
instructions for the proper way to contribute. The problem isn't
going to go away if you don't do something to prevent it.

Who said it was a problem? It bothers me to no extent whatsoever. As I said,
I choose not to police contributors.
The determination that a URL is not well-formed seems to be an arbitrarily
drawn conclusion. Spaces are certainly allowed in quoted attributes, if not
in URLs. But if http://xx.com/my file.xxx
is an invalid URL and http://xx.com/my%20file.xxx
is valid, and furthermore
"http://xx.com/my file.xxx"
is a valid HTML attribute value (because it is simple quoted text), should
it not be the responsibility of the browser to apply the proper encoding to
the attribute value when choosing to use it as a URL? The web server, after
all, has the responsibility for the reciprocal mapping to the original
filename (the one with the space included).
FWIW, I note that as I typed this, my NG client identified the quoted
attribute as a URL spanning the space, but not the unquoted example. This
perfectly illustrates my point. Once the text is put into context (in this
case, to be treated as a URL), the client, which happens not to be a
browser, properly encodes the text.
