Hi Christian,

I'm just getting back to this...

Yup, definitely a problem.

urlencode() turns spaces into pluses.  rawurlencode() does not.

I just posted modification instructions to support spaces in filenames 
to CookBook/UploadExtended 
(<http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/UploadExtended>)

%20 must be used to represent a space.  Or optionally, the Attach 
markup can be changed to support spaces:

[[Attach:my file.txt]]
[[Attach:my file.txt] link to file]

As a result, this will no longer work:

[[Attach:file.txt link to file]]

Thanks,
Wayne
