ns_urlencode converts both "+" and " " to "+". This is problematic:

I'd be surprised if I'm the first to run into this but google doesn't search for plus symbols well. Is there a standard workaround?

There is a related bug at sourceforge 972994. As this is an aolserver issue you should either point it out as a comment there or submit a new bug there.

Thanks.  From what I see there, my specific issue is already fixed in recent nsd versions.  I'm not itching to upgrade ATM so I'll just hack a "fixed" ns_urlencode in tcl.
