You could write something that would search for a space inbetween  
"d:" and " successfully" and change it to a proper URL with %20. My  
sed foo is off today, so it may be similar to:
sed -i 's/(d:)(.?)( )(.?)( successfully)/\1\2%20\3\4/' logfilename

This will only catch the first space in the file path, so multiple  
spaces will either require multiple runs, or more sed foo than I have  
today. Leave off the "\4" if you want to remove the " successfully  
altogether
