spaces in request variables

[ji...@vodacomm.ca]

We have upgraded to apache 1.3.26 (due to security issue) but the
application that was designed on the old apache has a small bug.
It seems request varibles with spaces can not be passed on the url (as
done when using href). As a result, I get the following error:
Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

The request line contained invalid characters following the protocol string.

Is there any easy way to fix this?

Thanks,
Jill

Encode the URL?

A space is the same as %20 so,

http://www.arb.com/blah/some file.html becomes
http://www.arb.com/blah/some%20file.html
