Questions
What is the difference between the two encode options?
"Encode a value" encodes everything except letters, digits and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ). "Encode a full URL" keeps characters such as / ? & = that give a URL its structure.
Should + be decoded as a space?
Only for form data and query strings sent by HTML forms. Tick the option in that case.
