--------------------------------------------------------------
The Uniform Resource Locators (URL) specification (RFC 1738) defines the space
character as "unsafe" and states that all unsafe characters must always be
encoded within a URL. The URL encoding for space is %20 so the document URL
should be:
http://intranet-rtd.rtd.cec.eu.int/services/docs/AAR_2007%20-%20FINAL.doc
Your intranet uses invalid URLs that do not conform to the spec. While Nutch
could handle this error more gracefully, it shouldn't necessarily allow
malformed URLs to be fetched. It is because some clients attempt to
automatically encode illegal characters when they are encountered that people
don't realise there are problems with their links.
