I think the issue is webhelper uses quote_plus to encode url while
Paste uses unquote to decode url. So "1 + 1" gets encoded to "1+%2b+1"
and it gets decoded to "1+++1". Is there any particular reason Paste
doesn't use unquote_plus?

Thanks!

... and it's not webhelper, but it's routes.url_for function that does
the encoding.

Looking at the URI spec (rfc2396 section 2.4.1), it seems to me that
url_for function should encode the space character as "%20", not "+".

Sorry for the confusion,
