Did you capture an example of what IE actually requests via the access logs? Browsers should be encoding those as either %20 or +. I'm guessing you only addressed one of the cases and IE uses the other.

I know that URLs with spaces are a "really bad idea (tm)" but the person who sent these out didn't think of asking me first. I have come up with patterns that work using RewriteRule but only for Chrome and Firefox. IE returns a 404 in some cases. That is likely a bug in IE and how it parses and passes spaces on but I can't ignore IE and declare victory. I thought it might be better if I use RedirectMatch instead of a RewriteRule but I cannot come up with a pattern that matches a space. For most of the things I have tried I get back an error about the number of arguments.
