Chris: Currently there is no routine for anyone to escape/unescape a URL. This is resulting in several errors where people are passing in strings that have embedded spaces in them (Mac volumes etc) So I am adding functions that will allow you to escape a string before passing it to construct a URL and then unescape it after you retrieve it from the accessors of the URL.

So the deal is that to be always safe you need to nsEscape the string before passing it to construct a new URI and then before using it you need to nsUnescape the same. These functions are already available from nsEscape.h
