I don't know what your problem is. This works perfectly for me:

>>> r =
urllib2.Request("http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox&q=foobar",
None)
>>> o = urllib2.HTTPHandler()
>>> u = o.http_open(r)
>>> u.read()
"..."

Closing as "Works for me". If you have another problem,
please reopen

it's foo bar not foobar. and space should be automatcally
become %20 (urllib.quote()) but it doesn't. please reopen

The docs say that the argument to the Request constructor
must be a valid URL. A valid URL doesn't contain spaces, so
the behavior is consistent.
