+### 3. URL Encoding Issues
+**Problem**: Files/folders with spaces or special characters in names caused HTTP 400 errors.
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Files without spaces upload successfully
+- Files with spaces in path fail: `HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request`
+- Logs show "bad headers" errors from copyparty
+- URLs like `/files/folder/file%20name.txt` fail
+
+**Solution**: Pass original request URI to preserve URL encoding:
+```nginx
+location ~ ^/files(/.*)?$ {
+    # Pass original request URI to preserve URL encoding
+    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
+    # ... other proxy settings
+}
+```
+
+Instead of `proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082/files$1;` which manipulates the path.
