Package: curl
Version: 7.13.2-2
Severity: wishlist

For example mp3 files often contain space characters in their
filename, however curl will not deal with that:

curl --trace-ascii - 'http://downhill.aus.cc/testingcurl/with space'
[...]
0000: GET /testingcurl/with space HTTP/1.1
[...]

Curl sends a literal "with space" in the GET command instead of
"with%20space".

Of course *I* could do the escaping and invoke
curl 'http://downhill.aus.cc/testingcurl/with%20space'
however in that case I'll end up with a file named "with%20space"
locally if I use -O and will need to do manual de-escaping with mmv,
too.
