Hi all,

I am trying to use the built-in UrlRewriting.config file to perform some rewrites.  I've started with trying to rewrite to a category query string.  The destination url I'm wanting/needing in this example is /my-blog?category=Category+1

The problem is when the query string is Server.UrlEncode(d) and it contains a space. (i.e. Category 1) is encoded to Category+1. 

The url I was trying to rewrite from is /my-blog/category/Category+1 ... but this returns 404 error... Yet /my-blog/category/Category%201 works with the rule below.  I like the + in place of the spaces like Server.UrlEncode is doing as oppose to the %20.

Any ideas why /my-blog/category/Category+1 doesn't work with the rule below?

Here is the rewrite rule.

 <add name="Categories Query"
      redirect="None"
      redirectMode="Permanent"
      virtualUrl="^~/my-blog/category/(.*)"
      rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
      destinationUrl="~/my-blog?category=$1"
      ignoreCase="true" 
    />
