 New Comment:

The fact file_get_contents "works just fine" is irrelevant. There's a difference
between what 1) URIs you're willing to accept and 2) which URIs you generate. Only the latter
must be well-formed. And in fact libxml generates correct URIs. The bug is in your custom stream
wrapper that doesn't parse the path in URI correctly and just takes it as is.

temporary is not a remote URI that points to a HTTP resource. This is a local file.

If the space needs to be encoded internally, fine. But it has to be possible to access a file with a
space in it using a stream wrapper? After all, file_get_contents() works just fine.

Looks right. URIs cannot contain spaces. See RFC 3986.

Description:
------------
Drupal uses custom stream wrappers for accessing files.

Given the file name "$imported_file = 'temporary://translated file.xlf'", the
following does not work:

$xml = simplexml_load_file($imported_file);

It results in the following warning:
simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity
"temporary://translated%20file.xlf"

However, this works just fine:

$xml_string = file_get_contents($imported_file);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
