m-news+article+storyid-123.html
becomes
m-news%20article%20storyid-123.html

If someone were to click on the transformed URL, she/he would end up the front page of your site. And most importantly, you could potentially have the notorious 302 redirect problem with search engines.

To fix the problem, you may want to add one line into loadpage.php file

$request = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$request = str_replace("%20", "+", $request);
