This is an issue that's been periodically bugging me. But I guess by the time
I got karma with Apache I'd grown used to working around it.
Looking at my code for argument parsing, it always involves something like
for (p = str; *p; ++p)
if (*p == '+')
*p = ' ' ;
ap_unescape_url(str) ;
Surely that little snippet should live in the API? Though, alas, not under
ap_unescape_url 'cos of back-compatibility. Maybe a two-args version
with flags to determine behaviour?
