I am using a sitemap for a menu and I need to reference urls that have
spaces in them. I have tried all of the following and still get an
error saying my url is malformed.

/Pages/Content/ContentListPage.aspx?type=4&sub=White+Papers

/Pages/Content/ContentListPage.aspx?type=4&sub=White%2BPapers

/Pages/Content/ContentListPage.aspx?type=4&sub=White+Papers

I know it is the space and not the &. It seems to accept & just
fine.

Can I not use spaces in the url? I am updating this from an existing
project and I don't think it will be easy to change everything
containing a space.

Thanks.

Did you try putting %20 in there? That's the code for a URL code for a
space.

Spaces are illegal to use in a URL. Some browsers clean them up for you, but
the framework can't for this.

Hope this helps,
