It works well when the '++' characters are translated to '%2b%2b'.

Both RFC1738 and it's successor RFC2396 state that '+' is a legal character unencoded in the path portion of an URL.

I have also posted this to the lighttpd list, then it is probably a bug in the server. However, Mozilla converts + to %2b when it requests an URL.
