WebClient's Uri Builder is not encoding "+" in query parameter.

[VikramAdh]

I am using below code snippet to re-produce this issue.

final MultiValueMap<String, String> queryParams = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
String value= "2+3 4";
String key = "val";
queryParams.add(key, value);
ResponseSpec response = agent.get(headers->{}, queryParams, "/data/read");
String responseBody = respnose.bodyToMono(String.class).block(); 

The service call to producer application is happening successfully but it returns 404-Not Found since the query parameter is not encoded completely.

Encoded final url: /data/read?val=2+3%204

Expected encoded URL: /data/read?val=2%2B3%204

Here "+" is not encoded. Appreciate any suggestion here.

Thanks,
Vikram.N

There is no way to know what serviceCaller.callGet does exactly. Most likely the query param value needs to be expanded as a URI variable to apply the stricter encoding. Please review https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html#web-uri-encoding.
