I tend to find spaces in filenames I work with on the command line quite
annoying. So I'd prefer explicit unit tests which check for whitespace
within local paths and within URLs, much like what you listed below.
Onno, do you have time and some rudimentary python skills (or time
to pick those up)? If so, it would be great if you could contribute
a couple of such tests (you could start slowly with just one test,
get it reviewed and committed, and then do more if you want to).
That would help us a lot in catching such bugs in the future.
Thanks,
