One of the users of my CVS server has complained that CVSWEB isn't able to
download files located in a directory with spaces in its name.

Is this a known issue? Is there a patch or work-around, aside from not
using spaces?

It appears to work fine for everything except the download link. For
example, the "view - text" link for a revision generates the following URL:


http://usitcvs/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cvstest/dir%20with%20space/hi.txt?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain


whereas the "download" link generates:


http://usitcvs/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/cvstest/dir+with+space/hi.txt?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain


which works fine if I change the "+" to "%20" by hand.

It honestly seems possible to me that I'm out-of-date on some Perl library
or something, but this admin gig is a very small part of my list of
assigned tasks, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Looking at the code, I'd guess something needs to be tweaked in
download_url(), but I'm no Perl guy, either.

Thanks,
