Thanks for the link. But neither that link or RFC 1738 says that the
"+" character is replaced by the space character. Just the opposite,
both says "+" is legal:
Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),",
and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be
used unencoded within a URL.
Suggestions?
