-------------------------------------
Summary: Impossible to pass '+' character as is as part of HTTP
query with WebClient
Key: CXF-5168
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5168
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JAX-RS
Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin
Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
URL Encoder encodes "+" as "%2B" however this may affect the servers expecting
'+' as is, in fact '+' is not a query reserved character.
What further complicates is that URL encoder will encode ' ' as '+'.
The path encoding process manages it correctly, it will retain '+' and will
encode ' ' as '%20'.
For query: we need to keep '+' as is and if users want it as '%2B' they they
can directly use '%2B'. The same goes for ' ' - encoding it to '+' has not been
a problem so far but if they need they can always use '%20'
