Beware though that '+' is the encoding of 'space' for CGI, and that some
tools may encode/decode it incorrectly in the URL part.

I have this in a script that uses -remote:
                case "$url" in
                    *,*) url=`echo "$url" | sed -e s/,/%2c/g` ;;
                esac
and it works.
