Illegal character in query

Development
1

Hi,

I'm using ODK Collect as the client with a custom server.

In my formList, the downloadUrl of some forms (as it appears in the
formList) contains the "+" character in the query, such as:

the_form_id form name http://www.example.net/path/etc/getform.php?someparam=some+value

When this happens, ODK Collect gives the following error when trying to
download that form:

Illegal character in query at index XX:
http://www.example.net/path/etc/getform.php?someparam=some value

where XX is the index where the "+" appears. Note that the url is shown
with a space, but it actually has a "+" sign, not a space.

Is this a bug? Isn't the "+" a perfectly legal character in queries, and
indeed the correct character to represent a space in a query??

Thanks
m.

i thought i caught all these url encoding issues in the latest rc, but
i guess not. it's been filed at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=405. follow it
there.
