FYI, pluses are supposed to be replaced by spaces by any app server. If
someone wants to include pluses in an url parameter then they should
url-encode them as "%2B" (the hex value for 43, the ASCII code a '+'),
and spaces should be encoded as "%20" or "+". I'll bet you are going to
find other issues with that query parameter unless the other app adopts
the right policy of urlencoding all parameter values. What will happen
with queries that include the special characters "&", "?", or "%"?

You could pull it from cgi.query_striung instead. That should preserve
everything just as you see it.

Subject: problem with spaces in value of a list in a URL that is
delimited with "+" sign
I've run out of ideas in how to fix this situation:
Another application that uses the "plus" sign as a delimiter links to my
site with a variable called "search".
It seems ColdFusion replaces the "+" sign with spaces before I can get
at the variable values from a URL. It's only a problem if a value in the
list already had spaces, like:
search=liver+diet and nutrition+eyes
When I do a cfdump on the variable "search", I get:
liver diet and nutrition eyes
Looping through the list with the delimiter "+" or " " or "," displays
the same as the dump.
How can I make the values separated properly by a comma, like:
liver,diet and nutrition,eyes
Help! and Thanks.
Joy
