I'm guessing load_site uses a POST or the FTP interface or similar, right? Space is a legal character in Zope, but not in HTTP. So even M$ websites shouldn't have spaces in their names, anyway. Having said this, I've seen some sites which do, and IE handles them OK. Typical ;-)

However, there are some legal HTTP characters which are not legal Zope characters. Off the top of my head, these include '+' and '%'. load_site would need to parse document contents to fix this kind of thing, I imagine.

I don't know what load_site uses, because it's encapsulated in ZPublisher/Client.py, however I suppose the problem only occurs because of the ids (and maybe titles), so there's probably no need to parse documents' contents, only their ids/titles

I guess seb thinks of adapting links to documents/images/style sheets, whose URIs have to be changed, because their names contain characters which are illegal in zope ids. cheers, oliver
