I always get lost when trying to re-interpret the URI RFC, but I
understood that it is reserved for queries, and in my case it is in a
path:
Within a path segment, the characters
"/", ";", "=", and "?" are reserved.
According to this, the only reserved character allowed for DB names is
/ that certainly should be encoded.
It's not a big deal, I just wanted to avoid as much URL processing as
possible and found strange that + required encoding and, for example
$, didn't
Cheers
