url encoding converts spaces to pluses,
Actually, reading the link Scoot provided, I suppose Scoot meaned <<The plus sign "+" is
converted into a space character " " .>>
Jacques
try doing a google search for "plus
sign" then look at the query in the url. Tomcat decodes the url parameters
not OFBiz but this might help:

From the RFC:
"The characters ";", "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters
which may be reserved for special meaning within a scheme."
and
"Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded
within a URL."
However, Ofbiz is converting the '+' sign to a space. Can someone tell me
where this conversion is happening so I can look for other possible
exceptions? This is important to me because I am importing hundreds of
thousands of entries and I need to handle these characters during import.

Subject: Illegal Characters in an ofbiz URL
I am importing an existing database with partyIds like P&G#1 and
BEN+JERRIES
I assumed that the standard URL symbols would be illegal, so I converted
'&'
to a '+' and most other punction to '_'. However, the '+' sign gets passed
to the bash script as a space. In other words, "P+G" gets passed as "P G"
which causes obvious problems.
Is there a list somewhere of what characters are legal (or illegal) so I
don't have to make guesses about it?
Thanks in advance if this is a stupid newbee question.
