Yes, and this seems to be the problem. I've used java.net.URLDecoder 
to decode the urlToZipArchive in getBytesFromArchive() and everything
works fine. So the solution seems to be move the '%20' replacement
code a few lines up, so that also archive paths are handled. Also
I would recomment to use java.net.URLDecoder instead of using 
regexp. This way you don't need to care about other %-sign that
may occur.

best regards,
