Squid and space char

Yep, I know blanks are not legal characters (RFC 1738). but
users complain they're unable to download files with "spaces" in the URL.
and without using the squid, the browser download the file with no
problem.

All spaces should be replaced with '%20'. I guess it can be done
through an external redirector, but currently I'm using squirm and it
doesn't handle such a rewrite rule.
Any idea?

Test this...

>(1) using netscape or explorer with ftp proxy configured
>
>(2) goto http://www.files.com
>
>(3) In the "find" dialog box, type "oscar" and click Find
>
>(4) In the listing that returns, click the first entry, namely
>"COLTS 2.1 for Oscar.exe"
>
>(5) Click on this entry, Squid returns an error on RETR COLTS
