Description
If you leave spaces in a filename, then the filebrowser extension module cannot open the file (the URL ends up with "+" marks where the spaces should be). This can be avoided by using hyphens, camel case, or underscoring, but it still seems like a minor bug.

#1
Spaces in filenames, we hateses it, we does! The time I've lost making things downgradable to that over the years...
Yeah, but + in URL arguments usually translates to spaces ... Ah, but opening it, with clean-urls on, it's no longer an argument. yeah, looks like a bit of url-encoding needs to happen somewhere.
#2
Files/URLs are not accessible if they contain reserved or non-ascii characters.
