Hyperlink space issue in rich text rte plugin in aem6.5

[kiranb44533266]

I have upload pdf file with “spaces” in them ex:20_YoungerBoyLetterheadv2 v1(1).pdf, In text component,hyperlink with space character causing issue. The hyperlink work using the path /content/dam/abc/documents/men/20_YoungerBoyLetterheadv2 v1(1).pdf but when we enter full url or any external url with space (http://localhost:4502/content/dam/abc/documents/men/20_YoungerBoyLetterheadv2%20v1(1).pdf) hyperlink is not working as expected. its removing href from the text.

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
