Description:
------------
HTTP_Upload_File::moveTo() calls HTTP_Upload_File::setName('safe') by default, resulting in the following bug for files that are uploaded with spaces in the name and subsequently moved.

Test script:
---------------
$file = $http_Upload->getFiles('Filedata');
$file->getProp("name"); // "my file.jpg"
$file->moveTo("myFiles/");
$file->getProp("name"); // "my_file.jpg"

Temporary solution:
$file = $http_Upload->getFiles('Filedata');
$file->setName('safe');
$file->getProp("name"); // "my_file.jpg"

Expected result:
----------------
This is far from being a bug, there just needs to be better documentation for the moveTo() method, or alternatively setName('safe') needs to be called from within getFiles().
