I am using Zend_HTTP_Client and trying to make a request for a URL which is having some query string parameters but the values are having [space] in between like ....php?cat=sweet home

When I pass such URL Zend_Uri throw an exception "Invalid URI supplied" .. here is the TOP code of the exception.

Zend_Uri_Exception Object

(

[messagerotected] => Invalid URI supplied
....

Is anyone can suggest .. what should i do in order to request such URLs ..

Thanks
