> If a get is made to a page with a query argument containing a space, many web
> servers, notably including Tomcat 5 can generate a redirect in which the space
> in the query argument is not escaped correctly.  Most browsers including IE and
> Firefox compensate for this by quoting any included spaces in the redirect
> location.  Http client does not.  When this broken URL is presented to a
> subsequent server, the GET command is interprted incorrectly resulting (usually)
> in a 505.
> The fix is to replace spaces in redirect locations with +'s.  This doesn't
> entirely fix the problem but that is the job of the web server developers.
