This is occurring in mod_auth_digest, as part of the digest
authentication. (mod_dav handles spaces just fine)  A temporary workaround
would be to switch to basic auth -- less secure, but it should work
better.

I don't have a suggested fix right now, but I've copied the Apache
developer list and the current module maintainer.
