Re: Problem encoding GET parameters with '+' character

[Kishanthan Thangarajah <ks...@gmail.com>]

Hi Devs,

I tried to reproduce this [1] and it looks like a regression caused by [2]
for me. The fix for [2] is addressing the case when a POST request is sent
with " ", space character, and the java.util.URLEncoder encodes the
space character as "+". So when decoding the string, the
"+" character is changed with " " character by the URIEncoderDecoder#decode
method.

This is what causing the above mentioned issue, where, if a GET request
contains "+" character, it is not correctly getting served. How should we
proceed on this? IMO, we should handle both of these cases, without
breaking the functionality.

Thanks,
Kishanthan.
