I have blog entries with img tag references to images that have spaces in their filenames. The spaces in the link are represented with a %20, and this was verified by inspecting the body field of the prefix_node_revisions table. If I pull out the URL to the image and type it straight in my browser, drupal redirects the browser to the URL with all spaces converted to %20, then returns a Page Not Found error.

Drupal is installed in the root of my site. The images are in /files/blog/, and the associated URL is http://[FQDN]/files/blog/[filename].

E.g., if I type http://site.com/files/blog/a b c d.jpg, drupal redirects the browser to http://site.com/files/blog/a%20b%20c%20d.jpg, and I get Drupal's Page Not Found error even if a b c d.jpg really exists in that directory.

Images without spaces in the filename display just fine.

This behavior happens regardless of the Download method selected in Administer > Site configuration > File system.

Whoops, should have reported more info.

Site is hosted at 1and1.com. PHP is version 5 (forced through .htaccess).

Title: Filenames with spaces are not displayed » Images with spaces in filename are not displayed (get Drupal's page not found error)

Adjusting title.

Should have mentioned that I have Clean URLs turned on, although I don't think that should matter.

You definitely should test Transliterate filenames module. Please report back if that module works for you (and mark this issue fixed if it does).

I am going to go ahead and close this out. This was an experimental site, and I have long discarded it.
