Summary: urllib doesn't correct server returned urls

Initial Comment:
On a URL request where the server returns a URL with spaces in, 
urllib doesn't correct it before requesting the new page.

I think this is technically a server error, however, it does work 
from web browsers (Mozilla, Safari) but not from Python urllib.

I would suggest that when urllib is following "moved temporarily" 
links (or similar) from a server it translates spaces to %20.

See example program file for more including detailed server/client 
transactions text.

I've tested a change to "redirect_internal(self, url, fp, errcode, errmsg, 
headers, data)" in "urllib.py" that adds a single line newurl = 
newurl.replace(" ","%20") after the basejoin() function call that appears 
to fix the problem.

This information is placed in the public domain.
