A html space is showing as instead of

Question

Passing a filename to the firefox browser causes it to replace spaces with %2520 instead of %20.

I have the following HTML in a file calle

Answer 1

For some - possibly valid - reason the url was encoded twice. %25 is the urlencoded % sign. So the original url looked like:

http://server.com/my path/

Then it got urlencoded once:

http://server.com/my%20path/

and twice:

http://server.com/my%2520path/

So you should do no urlencoding - in your case - as other components seems to to that already for you. Use simply a space
