urlencode cannot handle spaces in URL correctly?

For ASP.Net 2.0, if using HttpUtilities.Urlencode, it will encode
spaces as '+' rather than %20, is this a known issue or something
expected.

It's correct encoding.
Both %20 and + are correct.
go to Google.com enter "a b" and hit go. You will see folowing URL
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a+b

Re: urlencode cannot handle spaces in URL correctly?

for characters like that, i replace as something else first, then
encode, and when after i decode i replace back

like this

a =3D "some string"

a =3D a.replace(" ","SPACE")

coded =3D urlencode(a)


--- to read

b =3D urldecode(coded)
b =3D b.replace("SPACE"," ")


cause in my situation "SPACE" will never be passed in the url, so i
can safely use it
