The character ?" needs to be escaped at least on w32 because otherwise
ShellExecute will not work. Maybe this part of the patch should be
platform specific, I do not know.
Both Google Chrome and Firefox still thinks that it is good manner to
also escape blanks as ?+.
I suggest the following patch (this is agains a checkout from 2010-05-22):

Is there any reason space shouldn't be quoted as %20 instead? I.e.,
just add it to the regexp there at the end?

Yes. Readability.

But if I remember correctly, it's not, strictly speaking, er, correct.
Space can be "+" in the query part of an URL, but should be %20
elsewhere.

I committed the change with spaces percent-encoded.
