It's not a bug, it's a "feature".
Analog looks for a space to terminate the file name. If you want to
include spaces in filenames, your server should in my opinion either
(i) always put the name in quotes; or (ii) 'escape' the space by writing
it as %20.
I guess analog could mark these lines as corrupt rather than parse them
but leave off the end of the name. Which do people prefer?
