Summary: DirectoryIndex incorrect when space in path

Initial Comment:
When Serendipity is installed to a location with a space in the path (i.e. http://example.com/serendipity withspaces/) the index.php page will not be loaded by default if no file is specified.  It appears to be due to the DirectoryIndex directive's local-url part in .htaccess not being encoded.  According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html, "Local-url is the (%-encoded) URL of a document on the server relative to the requested directory".  mod_dir considers 
  DirectoryIndex /serendipity withspaces/index.php
to mean two possible indexes, "/serendipity" and "withspaces/index.php".

Hi!

Spaces in paths often impose a problem with both the server and/or (older)
browsers, so we strongly suggest to not use paths with spaces.

If you do need that, you should go to the s9y configuration and inside the
path settings, make sure to enter "%20" or "+" (?) inside the path setting
- this might properly encode the path?

Therem might be other occurences of s9y plugins that do not deal well with
such paths, though...

Regards,
Garvin
