I would note this is broken for https based repositories still.

Title:
Escape plus character in apt HTTP requests to work around Amazon S3
bug
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Amazon S3 performs incorrect query-string un-escaping on URLs and improperly
converts the plus ('+') character to a space (' ') when processing incoming GET
requests for files. This causes apt-get to get HTTP 404 errors when
downloading packages from S3-hosted mirrors which include a + character in the
name of the package.
For more background info, see:
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=55746
One possibly solution is to change the call to QuoteString in http.cc
to include '+' in the character set, which would escape the plus
character to the %2B form, which will be properly processed by Amazon
S3.
Thanks,
Doug
