Well, there's no "shift" method in the String class, nor anything that
simply strips characters off the front of a String.  However, did you not
see my reply to Jessica Biola yesterday afternoon, in this same thread?
I did cc the list.  In that, I suggested a simple fix to advance the
char * pointer past leading spaces before assigning to temp.

> And somehow turning the rest of the space into %20 in the code?

OK, this is a little bit more effort, because now you're expanding a
single character into 3, so you can't do it in place.  However, you
could probably change the first few lines of the URL constructor and
parse methods like this.  First, change the "u" to "ref" in the parse
method for consistency.  Then, instead of simply assigning ref to temp
as String temp(ref); and then removing white space characters, you can
do this:

    static int  allowspace = config.Boolean("allow_space_in_url", 0);
    String      temp;
    while (*ref)
    {
        if (*ref == ' ' && temp.length() > 0 && allowspace)
        {
            // Replace space character with %20 if there's more non-space
            // characters to come...
            char *s = ref+1;
            while (*s && isspace(*s))
                s++;
            if (*s)
                temp << "%20";
        }
        else if (!isspace(*ref))
            temp << *ref;
        ref++;
    }


Then, you'll have to set  allow_space_in_url: true  in your htdig.conf
to enable this feature.
