Hello Monks. I apologize to ask such simple question for you.

I have the following script section:

$response = $session->post('http://92.0.7.11/reports/GenerateReports.d
+o?reportID=91',
            
                    Content => [vmReportType=>'',
                deviceId=>'',
                perVM=>'',
                category=>'0',
                bview=>'All',
                showType=>'1',
                top=>'10',
                time=>'custom',
                timeWindow=>'0-24',
                startTime=>'2013-04-21',
                startHour=>'19',
                endTime=>'2013-04-22',
                endHour=>'7',
                show=>'Show+Report']);
[download]

The problem is with the line 'show=>'Show+Report'. I made a packet capture using Wireshark, when I make a request from a webpage. In the packet capture I see the line 'Show+Report', as the parameter for the 'show' variable. However, when I simulate the request using the LWP::UserAgent module, and with the code above, I see the line changed: 'Show%2BReport'.

I want to send the '+' sign as is. I tried escaping with URI::Escape, but doesn't work

my $plus = '%2B';
show=>'Show'.uri_escape($plus).'Report'

OR:

my $plus = '+';
show=>'Show'.uri_escape($plus).'Report'
[download]

I tried with the uri_unescape function either with no luck

The change above gives me more hexadecimal characters

How do I escape the plus sign, inside a Post request using LWP::UserAgent?

Thanks for any help!
