Description

On branch-1, WebHDFS cannot create a file containing spaces. It fails with a URI syntax error while trying to create a java.net.URI pointing to the newly created file in the HTTP created response. This bug does not impact trunk, because the trunk code calls a different java.net.URI constructor, which automatically takes care of the required URI encoding.
