Question

I’m doing a request…something like this:

@Request.Params["id"].ToString()

the value of id is encripted and returns something like
ZK10ez/BJARTw GVLbIeUOp

instead of

ZK10ez/BJARTw+GVLbIeUOp <- this is what is passed in the URL

In other words, it’s replacing my plus sign [+] with spaces [ ].
I could just do a replace, but I don’t know if this will happen in the future with other letters.

Anyone with the same problem?

Answer 1

A + character in a URL represents a space character. This is an aspect of URL encoding.

Make sure that you properly URL encode any data before using it in a URL. You should not try and replicate URL encoding / decoding by doing your own string replacements.

You can use Url.Encode to encode your data prior to using it in a query string.
