sounds to me like it is behaving as it should. It sounds as if you want
it to revert to some previously broken behavior

blank spaces have to be escaped or replaced with %20

ls -l /var/www/html/my file.html

http://localhost/my\ file.html

note that the link isn't clickable

http://localhost/my%20file.html

notice that the link is clickable

file:///var/www/hml/my\ file.html

file:///var/www/html/my%20file.html
