Charles,
I changed it to "rock climbing" to illustrate what happens with URL encoding.
The [space] is changed to (just like you have seen in URLs). Certain
characters don't travel well over the Internet, thus the need for "packaging"
the data. That's why the osax is useful. iCab likely has internal code that
does URL encoding.
You lucked out with the original parameters you were using in that URL
encoding was unnecessary. I brought up the point because I knew it would be a
roadblock you would soon encounter.
