It does work. The input URL you pass to it must not be encoded, though.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe
will be encoded to
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%2520fonts/final/andale32.exe
(the % is encoded as %25) and that causes things to fail.

Title:
apt-helper fails on urls with space
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer tries to download
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe via apt-helper
download-file.
That url redirects to
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe,
a url containting a space (%20), witch it seems apt-helper doesn't
handle well, as it ends up with
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the&;... the part
up to the space in the redirected url.
Ubuntu 16.10, apt 1.3.3
