Can’t load list with space in title

[wrathagom]

First of all, thanks for putting the effort in to simplify Sharepoint interactions. You're my hero. If you've got a patreon or similar I'd be interested in helping out.

I have a document library called "Corp Docs" that I can't load. When I do I get a 500 internal server error.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I'm assuming it has to do something with the space in the name, because I am successfully able to make the same call on a document library just called "Documents".

Let me know what else I can provide to try and troubleshoot this.

Thanks for the kind words, sorry for the late replay. The space should not be an issue. Your last line shows that the library is treating the space correctly and changing it to 'Corp%20Docs'. I'm really not sure what the issue is.
