Hi Steve,
    Im taking this to the list..
    You cant use URLEncoder bcos URLEncoder replaces spaces with +. =
However, what works on the browser is %20. OTOH, there are still =
problems with replacing spaces with %20 when you come to mailto links.=20
    For your case though, the parser now checks if a url has spaces, and =
if so, it performs the correct encoding.=20
    The latest codebase is in CVS.=20

Cheers,
Somik

  Somik,=20
  Some of the URL's we parse have spaces in them, e.g =
http://www.cnn.com/This is a test.html=20

  I know this in non-standard, but I just parse what I am told to =
parse.....=20

  My first response was to URLEncode the URL (URLEncoder.encode()) and =
pass it to the htmlparser.  This didn't work!?!=20

  So I then wrote a quick utility to replace all spaces with the correct =
URL encoded character and this worked.  Any idea why the parser would =
not like a URLEncoded URL?=20
