wget2 | errors when downloading a directory that has files with special character (#588)

[John James (@5m)]

John James created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/issues/588



I'm trying to download a directory (folder) using
`wget2 -r -np https://example.com/folder/`
the problem is that some files are not downloading
for example "A R&S B C.ppt" isn't downloaded
`Adding https://example.com/folder/A R&S B C.ppt
HTTP ERROR response 404 Not Found [https://example.com/folder/A R&S B 
C.ppt]`
if i open a directory using Firefox and download the same file, it downloads as 
`https://example.com/folder/A%20R&S%20B%20C.ppt`
i tried adding quotation mark, still the same issue, `wget2 -r -np 
"https://example.com/folder/"`
i tried wget version 1 it works, it downloaded the file   `wget -r -np 
https://example.com/folder/`
