Description

Inside the function
void XMLUri::initializePath(const XMLCh* const uriSpec)

a check is made for the valid characters and the space is not included as a valid charater. Hence when the following xml is placed inside "c:\my path with space" directory

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<objConf xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<xi:include href="Constants.xml"/>
...

the following error is reported:
path contains invalid character ' '

The solution is either to include the chSpace in the valid path character list (PATH_CHARACTERS) or add an extra condition to the "else if" part like this:

else if (!isUnreservedCharacter(testChar) &&
!isPathCharacter(testChar) &&
testChar != chSpace )
