You don't specify the content-type for the data you're posting. Curl defaults to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". But your data is *NOT* URL encoded. So you have a disconnect between what you're telling CURL you're giving it and what you're actually giving it. A "+" URL encodes to "%2B" and decodes to " ". So most likely the logic on the other end sees that the data is URL encoded (since that's what CURL tells it, by default) and decodes it, turning the '+' into a space. The fix is to use a proper library to assembly the form data, one that provides a function that takes a parameter and a value and properly encodes it into WWW form data.
