urlencode cannot handle spaces in URL correctly?

[gouqizi.lvcha]

For ASP.Net 2.0, if using HttpUtilities.Urlencode, it will encode
spaces as '+' rather than %20, is this a known issue or something
expected.

It's correct encoding.
Both %20 and + are correct.
go to Google.com enter "a b" and hit go. You will see folowing URL
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a+b

for characters like that, i replace as something else first, then
encode, and when after i decode i replace back

like this

a = "some string"

a = a.replace(" ","SPACE")

coded = urlencode(a)
--- to read

b = urldecode(coded)
b = b.replace("SPACE"," ")
cause in my situation "SPACE" will never be passed in the url, so i
can safely use it
