 That's bad news for my scripts but I'll think/worry about that later :)  I would 
say that MS did that deliberately to make their browser work when people type 
a space in, for the sake of user-friendliness.

 "Behind the scenes" the browser still encodes it to %20 when it sends the 
request to the server.  Using IE5.5 I requested "/this is a test" on my local web 
server and the access log recorded it as "/this%20is%20a%20test".

Cheers,
