just being pedantic but since you have included the link to rfc1866 I have a question, given:

"...The form field names and values are escaped: space characters are replaced by `+', and then reserved characters are escaped as per URL;..."

how is it that a '+' can be recovered from an encoded value?

    The spec is not saying to double encode the plus sign. Really. Of course you might just opt to do all of your encoding in one pass and using only the hex values. I think that's the default for Internet Explorer anyway.
