Spaces in File & Folder Names using Mod_Rewrite returns 404 or 500 error

Basically my rewrite rules work fine but if I am working with files or folder with spaces in them it doesn't work and just returns 404/500 errors.

For example:

RewriteRule !^test/ test%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /test/
RewriteRule ^test/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]

The above rule works perfectly fine. However if the file or folder has a space in it I would be using the following code:

RewriteRule !^test%20folder/ test%20folder%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /test%20folder/
RewriteRule ^test%20folder/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]

But this just returns errors! I have also tried to removed the %20 and just have a blank space and that also returns an error.

Anyone know how to get around this?

Use \s (regexp white space) to match it or One\ Word\ And\ Another if you know the full string.

In your case:

^test\ folder/(.*)
