I wasn't trying to help with my app, i was bugmagnet's app. But my app runs fine in contradiction to how you say it should be. HTML is plain text with SGML tags, i've used SGML before Win3 came out. The browser, or bugmagnet's app, should accept the plain text, and make it compliant to what the httpd is expecting before it is sent to the server. But the plain text, as recieved in the body of the HTML, need not be pre-encoded by the httpd. If you type in an url with spaces in it to a browser, or to an Eu app, it's THEN the browser or the Eu app's job to encode it before sending it. Same with the urls in the webpage body.
I'm not quite sure what your argument here is; I pointed out that URLs cannot have spaces and that this is invalid in HTML, to someone who may well have been unaware of this. I quoted the error from the official W3 validator stating this. Yes, it works, but it is wrong. It is not generally acceptable practice to recommend things to others that are clearly wrong. Sorry about that- blame the W3 if you must.
