It has indeed a white space in there (I checked it with my kit: Netscape4.5 &
Squid2.1PATCH1 with the white space translation on)

These web masters should be explained that, according to the RFC's, white
spaces are not legal in URI's. You can configure the white space handling by
the way. See the default config file (go to the end of the file). I'm not sure
2.1.REL already supports this but Patch1 does it for sure (I'm using it and
apparently with success because I get the banner)

IE probably changes this in %20 (or something). I'm not sure if that is legal
though.
