RE: urls with spaces - curl is misinterpreting the %20 code
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 14:13:17 -0500
Both + and %%20 work. I'm going with %%20 because I don't know if our server
will break if it gets + and doesn't expect it... Though it seemed to work.
Thanks all.

DOS treats %N (where N is a digit) as a positional parameter within batch
files. Since you haven't given any parameters, the %2 is replaced by
nothing, leaving the 0. You need to escape the percents by doubling them.
