I have a site where most of the pages have spaces in the URLs like "/dir/Page title.html", I'm looking at my logs and there are 404 errors for pages like "/dir/Page".

I've link sleuthed my site and there are no bad links to any of these pages, are these coming from a spider?
 
Is there a space in the name of the page? I'm not sure if it's still the case with any browsers, but in the old days netscape couldn't handle spaces in URLs.

Protip: don't use spaces in filenames.
 
I thought we were past all that with browsers, the reason I don't think it's a browser is that there are no referring pages for these instances in the log.

And it's not so much of a problem as a quirk, might have to %20 all the spaces.
