Cache Server is not working in local mode if the path name has spaces in it

Version Control

-

STR:
1. Open provided project
2. Open Unity Preferences and switch to "Cache Server" tab
3. Set 'Cache Server Mode' to 'Local'
4. Select a custom cache location so that the path would have whitespaces in it
5. Back in Unity, reimport Assets/Texture_01.png

Console throws these errors:

Socket: connect failed, error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (0)

Unable to connect to host localhost:5511.

Workaround:
Download Cache server files as instructed under "How to set up a Cache Server (admin)" in https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CacheServer.html
Run the file according to your OS with arguments --path (path provided in Unity preferences) and --port (port shown in console errors)

    I am on a windows machine, and always had the same connection error. Then i tried to put the Server cachefolder on the root of a drive with a folder name without spaces (i.e. D:\cacheserver). Then the error was gone. In first place i thought it was a coincidence. So second time i put a space between the folder name after restart the error came back, removing the space in the name and restarting resolved the problem for me.

    so when i looked to the default cache folder, that is in the usersprofile, that one contains space, i think thats why the error is trown. not sure but for me my workaround works. hope someone find it usefull.

    Not that it matters but I can confirm this is not fixed in 5.5.0p3 (W10)
