Query string with "+" symbol contains space when passed to another page

Question

Before passing the query to another page it contains argument

UwHe6N8aN0ZAHhestx+adQ==

But when passed, the receiving page got

UwHe6N8aN0ZAHhestx adQ==

value instead.

The "+" got auto converted to space.

enter image description here

How can I stop the auto conversion of the query parameters?

You need to [UrlEncode](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4fkewx0t(v=vs.110).aspx) you data — Jeroen Heier, Jan 21 '17 at 16:56

Because you should correctly UrlEncode that string:

var str = "UwHe6N8aN0ZAHhestx+adQ==";
Console.WriteLine(Uri.EscapeDataString(str));

Or, taking into account that it seems to be ASP.NET application, you can use HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode instead.
