I don't find any information on this topic in this link, but shouldn't
links be URL-encoded instead - e.g. " " becomes %20 etc.? In my
opinion this should be done automatically by the tcl http package, but
it isn't done - just checked it. It is done automatically by a browser
(checked it with Konqueror: http://localhost:9000/Some Url/ becomes
"GET /Some%20Url/ HTTP/1.1").

I guess it should at least be reverted to the old state, which would
be less broken than what there is now.
