Um, to be pedantic, a %20 in a URL is %20, until whatever's at the other end
decodes it and translates it into a filename. ie; it's "some escaped character,
to be decoded later on". ^_^
I think it used to be part of the standard to use + for spaces, although that
may have only been for the QUERY_STRING part of the line. Hmm. Netscape 4.7
still DOES use + for space in QUERY_STRING. ^_^
