I have some pages from a client's old template-based site which have spaces in them. For example, one of the pages looks like this:

example.com/page.php?domain_name=example.com&viewpage=Gallery %26 News

I'm thinking that the correct way to do an htaccess 301 redirect is to include something like this:

Redirect 301 /page.php?domain_name=example.com&viewpage=Gallery%20%26%20News http://www.example.com/gallery/

where the new page is:

example.com/gallery

Is this correct?
