Description
When query string contains plus sign "+", e.g GET /api/tasks/?start_time=2018-11-21T11:47:15+07:00
I expect that on server:
request.GET['start_time'] == '2018-11-21T11:47:15+07:00'
But actual:
request.GET['start_time'] == '2018-11-21T11:47:15 07:00'
make the server validation failed (Invalid ISO8061 datetime string in my case)
After debugging, I find out QueryDict using limited_parse_qsl() function, that replace + with space

Is this behavior a bug or some feature?
Thank you

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This behaviour is a feature, not a bug.
The plus sign is a reserved character, if you want to pass a plus sign you will need to encode it as
%2B.For more details on encoding query parameters see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding
Have a great day!
