As per the Feeds issue que and this node http://drupal.org/node/708592

Image field allows you to upload images from your desktop if there are spaces in the file name (which is rather commmon these days)

When the image html is rendered image grabber cannot grab this image.

we have tested it over and over again (the link above provides an example but we ahve fixed it by going back and taking out teh spaces in the original file name)

Hi,

I realized that the script "url_to_absolute.php" is at fault here. I am looking to improve it, your help would be highly appreciated if you can look into it.

Specifically, the url conversion returns false for urls with spaces, even if they are absolute urls.

Thanks.

I have committed the necessary changes in the repository, they should be available in dev soon. You will also need to update the UrlToAbsolute package to v1.6+, as it now supports URL with spaces (& other disallowed characters) and encodes them properly. I will appreciate if you can test the current changes on your feed and let me know the results, as I haven't load tested this addition much.

regards,
