Quoting Shai Gluskin shai@content2zero.com:
Drupalers,
I went looking through my watchdog tonight (really should do that more) -- at: admin/logs/watchdog
and I noticed that there were some page not found errors for file downloads like this:
File name is: example file.doc
The URL that works is: example.com/files/example%20file.doc
The URL that is showing up on the watchdog page-not-found entry is: example.com/files/example%2520file.doc
Testing from my own browsers I couldn't repeat the problem.
What browser or what situation is causing the space to be replaced by %2520 instead of %20? Has anyone ever seen this before? Is there a utility for the upload module that rips out spaces from file names? I'm having a problem with Thickbox having trouble with images with spaces in their names.
Looking forward to hear about others' experiences on this one.
Drupal version and contrib modules list are needed to dissect this. Looks like the URL is encoded twice by some means. %25 == % [1].
