'+' is not a valid encoding for 'space'. Some clients and servers do it for parts of a URL (particularly within the 'query' section), but it is not standard. Refer to RFC 2396 (URLs) and RFC 2616 (HTTP), Section 3.2. http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc2396.html http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc2616.html Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
