Sorry for crying before finding the nature of the problem. The filename 
that I am trying to open is being retrieved from a HTTP GET request 
string which encodes the spaces as %20, hence plt-scheme cannot open the 
file, because there is no such file with that name.

So, I will now substitute the %20s by a space and then open it.

Best,
Amit
