pluses so I have to convert them to %20 (or maybe just a space, I will test this).
Yes, spaces works as they are, so one don't need to encode them at all actually.
You do, as a matter of fact ;-) Seriously: Space characters are illegal in URLs (since the different parts of a request line a separated by spaces - Iff your client would send: 'GET /files/stuff/honk zisch HTTP/1.1' your server would be rather confused about protocol version 'zisch'). Now, since the early Web was often build by designers rather than programmers _some_ browsers silently convert spaces to '%20' sequences ... but i wouldn't rely on that feature - i've seen browsers that don't.
