The space is not a valid character in URIs; you have to replace it with
%20. It may also be considered bad practice. Replacing the space with-,+or_is preferable; it is both “prettier” and doesn’t require escaping of the URI.Most browsers will still try to parse URIs with a space; but that’s highly ambiguous.
