Goal

Sample site is on PeopleTools 8.56.12, and has the following integration scenario:

1. Site developed a PeopleSoft Provider REST service.

2. The 3rd party's inbound request contains a URI parameter entry with a "+" (plus sign) as a separator between a person's first and last name (e.g., fname+lname).

3. The Document object API's GetURIDocument() method is used to process the URI parameters, and it replaces the "+" (plus sign) with a space character.

Why is the "+" (plus sign) being replaced by a space character?
