May be we should change decoding algorithm.
According to current HTML standard
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#url-encoded-form-data symbol
"+" must be decoded as space. This standard uses old RFC for
encoding/decoding http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
But in "path" part of URI, space symbol must be encoded as %20.
