-----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Impossible to pass '+' character as is as part of HTTP query with WebClient
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> 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'
