<br><br>I consider that a bug, because "+" is not equivalent to a space per RFC3986 [1].<br><br>Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're only equivalent in the query part<br>of a URI when following application/x-www-form-urlencoded [2] style,
<br>such as HTML forms using GET method, never in the path part of the<br>URI, where a "+" is always left as-is [*] or encoded as "%2B".<br><br>[*] because the "+" sign has no delimiting role in the "http" or
<br>"https" schemes ; per RFC3986, section 2.2, §4 (which says that "If a<br>reserved character is found in a URI component and no delimiting role<br>is known for that character, then it must be interpreted as
<br>representing the data octet corresponding to that character's encoding<br>in US-ASCII.") and RFC2616 (which assigns no delimiting role to "+")<br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.gbiv.com/protocols/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html">
