iRule recognize blank space in URI?

Hi, I need to detect blank space in URI and either remove it or rewrite it:     www.mysite.com/some content/showme.html     to     www.mysite.com/some%20content/showme.html    ...

I just started testing this and interestingly enough, BIG-IP is replacing space within URI with %20, when I looked at the tcpdump, as well iRule log statement.

 

 

http://server.xxx.com/vMoD/vMoDGenres?title=R and B

 

 

shows up as

 

 

http://server.xxx.com/vMoD/vMoDGenres?title=R%20and%20B

 

 

so is BIG-IP LTM (v9.1.1) able recognize malformed URI and convert it in this case? Other than the log statement to print the URI, I have not done any iRule processing.
