This option adds a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the end of the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for --data-urlencode with one extension:

If the argument starts with a + (plus), the rest of the string is provided as-is unencoded.

This allows users to "build" query parts with options and URL encoding even when not doing GET requests, which the already provided option -G (--get) is limited to.

Note

This format does not URL encode the left side of the name=value pairs. It assumes that side is already encoded. This was something I decided when I made the --data-urlencode option because if it isn't encoded, it might contain a = and then we cannot know which is part of the name and which is separator.

The =content syntax will URL encode the entire thing.

This idea was born in a Twitter thread.
