The standard tlink and vlink both produce the failed results.  I modified the tlink script to dump out the details of what was being parsed in the stream.  This is a truncated example of the attempted GET with the debugging output from tlink with the plus symbols:

Strange, eh?  Visiting the same page with the plus symbols replaced with spaces returns this:

This occurs with both Netscape 6.2.2 and IE 5.0.  My HTTP server is Roxen, release 1.3.122.
