Hmm, that works for me.

Without the patch, opening an URL containing spaces did not work:

    ./vlc 'http://someserver/file with space.mp4'

With this patch, it works.

As I said in the other discussion, it is basically what wget does:

Are there any arguments other than shell arguments must be quoted
anyway, so the user could also fix the URL?
