Morgan, fyi that's apropos of nothing about this issue.  %20 escaping the
file name spaces is required by RFC 2616.  Windows IIS rarely enforces
the RFC ;-) so you will see IIS serving *content* with ' ' characters while
Apache (correctly) requires %20 symbols.

R Bloom, back in London in '00 wrote a very silly little mod_apachecon, if
I remember the name, which was a trivial early example of how to write
apache 2 filter modules; his module 'fixed' the content on the convention
cd, which had ' ' characters in uri links on the cd ;-) obviously authored
by a convention company which uses local files/iis.

(oh ' ' is valid on your local file:/// requests, another reason authors goof).
