Apache::ASP (QueryString eats +)

[sergen <se...@edunet.ru>]

     When sending text with "+" by "?" on url $Request->QueryString eats 
"+" (the text is absolutely the same but only this sign).
   Is it a bug or may be some else ?

   using: Mandrake 7.2
                Apache 1.3.14-2mdk
               apache-mod_perl 1.3.14_1.24-2mdk
               Apache-ASP 2.002mdk
               httpd-perl (proxied)

   If someone know what to do pls send a sign, thnks

Apache::ASP doesn't kill the + in a query string when parsing,
but mod_perl might?  Check out what you get in Apache->args
which is where Apache::ASP gets the query string from before
parsing.  You can do a <%= Apache->args %> in an ASP script.

Apache::ASP does escape + to ' ', space, and if you really want
to have a + in your URL, you will want to escape it with 
$Server->URLEncode($data), or $Server->URL($url, \%params)

Note that URL encoding treats the symbol '+' as the URL encoded version
of the symbol ' ' (space, ASCII 32). The sequence of characters you need
to include in a query string in order to have your script interpret it
as the symbol '+' is '%43'.

Your problem report isn't exactly clear on what you mean by "eats", but
this may be your trouble.
