It works well when the '++' characters are translated to '%2b%2b'.

Both RFC1738 and it's successor RFC2396 state that '+' is a legal character unencoded in the path portion of an URL.

Sure, but then in a url a + is translated to a space, not to '+'.
If you want plus, you'd need to urlencode it to %2b, otherwise it's interpreted as %20.
