unc path to related artifact fails if space in pathname

I am unable to open a related artifact to a unc path
that contains spaces in it.
Example:
file:///<hostname>/<share>/<directory>/file
fails whereas if I escape the space char, it works fine:
file:///<hostname>/<share>/<directory>/file

Is this a bug?

RTC code uses the java lang URI API - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URI.html
that implements the URI spec - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt
You'll notice in this spec that white space have to be escaped (which is basically the workaround Susan found)

So this is working as designed.
