Dear Request Tracker users,

while we working with special characters, we noticed that the plus-character will be not processed by the REST-API, when a new ticket is created.
All other special characters will be processed.

Here a simple content:
content=
id: ticket/new
Subject: Test '\+'
Queue: General

You should urlencode that text:

$ perl -e 'use URL::Encode qw/url_encode_utf8/; print url_encode_utf8("Test +");'
Test+%2B

The + here is the space, the %2B is the plus sign from the string.
