Perhaps; " " may be encoded as "+" in URL query strings, and most URL encoding functions do this. But in post strings maybe "+" is not acceptable. I will look to see if your suggestion fixes this.

On http://www.epstone.net/~andrew/wiki/api.php, the query string with "+"s in it works as expected.

Note the difference between "post" and "query" string -- I never said that "+" is not acceptable in query strings (quite the opposite, in fact). But I believe that in post strings "+" is not allowed, please correct me if I am wrong, of course.

I'm sorry I wasn't sufficiently precise. What I meant was that I submitted the exact same HTTP request as in my original message, including the "+" characters in the request _body_, to the www.epstone.net MediaWiki installation, and got an HTTP 200 response with a JSON text body.
