Hi there Jesse,

Three questions then.

Did encodeURIComponent solve the problem or is it still causing trouble?

Are you using the XML encoding for sending the request from an HTTP 
request? If you are using a standard HTTP request it does a url form 
encoding on everything before it goes out I believe.


Are you using the built in Base64Encoder class or your own code? I've 
heard of a non-documented built-in utility class for base64 
encode/decoding. Just curious about what you were using.


Thanks,

Michael

Yes, that's it exactly and Adobe got it right.  The + is listed as a

encode the + since it isn't a non-encoded character for that

[flexcoders] Re: encode & +

[Paul DeCoursey]

I think the problem is that the + should not be encoded. You must
encode it before adding it to the URI.  It is a reserved character and
it has special meaning in certain places in the URI.  It should not be
encoded in those places.  As a result I am speculating that an encode
function will not encode it.  An example of a special meaning is that
it can be used in place of spaces in a URL, it is just as common to
use %20 for a space, but a + is more readable.

[flexcoders] Re: encode & +

[Doug Lowder]

How about encodeURIComponent("dude man+") ?  The + character, as well 
as some others, is a reserved character in URIs.
