Spaces in url pathname causing proxy_fcgi:error AH01071:Primary script unknown

[turtleTower]

Hello, I am moving site from windows xampp to apache 2.4.52 php 7.4.33 on ubuntu 24.04.  Everything is working except I am having trouble calling the php files on this site (image, txt & html all are found regardless of folder structure). I tracked down the problem to having spaces within the url path.

For example this works: "https://site.lan/myfolder/phpinfo.php"  but this fails with php file not found:  "https://site.lan/my%20folder/phpinfo.php"

I tried setting "AllowEncodedSlashes on" and then using "https://site.lan/my%5C%20folder/phpinfo.php" to try to escape it, but that is not what I wanted. Any ideas on a workaround for this? Somehow xampp was able to sort it out.

Seems to be bug in mod_proxy_fcgi https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69203

Never a good idea to allow for spaces in directories or file names.

BTW, docker is a good way to locally simulate a deployment platform that differs from your development platform.
