[Mediawiki-l] Files and Folder names with spaces - linking issues

[Kushal Koolwal]

I am running mediawiki on Linux a box.

Here is what I have noticed:

[file://G:\TEMP\linktest\test.pdf] 
works fine

But when there are spaces in the  folder/file name (for example:G:\TEMP\link test\test.pdf):
[file://G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf] 
does not work

However if you add an extra "/" in the file:// keyword like this:
[file:///G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf] 
works fine.

Is this something normal? Is there any setting (in Mediawiki) by which adding the extra "/" can be taken care off. It is easy for technical users but non-technical users can get frustrated if they have to remember these details.
