+  * text.  The x-www-form-urlencoded format 
+  * replaces certain disallowed characters with
+  * encoded equivalents.  All upper case and lower case letters in the
+  * US alphabet remain as is, the space character (' ') is replaced with
+  * '+' sign, and all other characters are converted to a "%XX" format
+  * where XX is the hexadecimal representation of that character.  Note
