User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Visit http://kano.net/in/filename%20with%20spaces and the Firefox location bar
will show "http://kano.net/in/filename%20with%20spaces".

I think a more intuitive behavior would be to display
"http://kano.net/in/filename with spaces", since this is the actual text of the
URL before URL-encoding it.
