file names with spaces were url encoded. wrongly.

[petersilva]

I was playing with hpc-mirroring use case and noticed this problem. C and python implementations

I see the python does not do this, and I noticed it broke mirroring when files on the source tree had spaces the C would post with %20, which confused the heck out of the python.

I first tried adding %20 encoding on the python side... but it was a spiral downward... backed up.. and decided removal of the url encoding was the better ... um... path. yeah. that's the issue... you don't need url encoding if your value is a path (a file name) but you do if the value is part of a url for some protocols like http. So at some point will have to figure out places to add url encoding.

for now, for file: urls', the answer is ... never.
