Description

If I create a "Notepad" with the data-browser, name it "/public/xz" and GET "/public/xz/*" I get a nicely formatted Turtle document back.

If instead I create the notepad at "/public/x z" and then GET "/public/x%20z/*" I only get a single line "@prefix : <#>." and nothing else.

I would have expected both URLs to return a complete Turtle document.

Research direction

Reproduce the two data-browser cases: GET /public/xz/* and GET /public/x%20z/* after creating the corresponding notepads. Trace the URL globbing and encoded-space handling, then verify that both requests return complete Turtle documents rather than only the prefix line.
