title: space in url; did browser got smarter or server?
body: <p>It looks like today you no longer to have to encode spaces by %20 in your html links or image links. For example, suppose you have this image at 〔<a href="http://example.com/i/my" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.com/i/my</a> house.jpg〕. Notice the space there. In your html code, you can just do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;img src="http://example.com/i/my house.jpg" alt="my house"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It work in all current version of browsers. Though, what i'm not sure is that whether the browser encodes it before requesting the url, or a particular server will do the right with with paths with space? (apache)</p>
  
  <p>Addendum:
  sorry about the confusion. My real question is about HTTP protocol.
  I'll leave this one as is and mark Answered.
  I posted a new question here.
