Severity: important
* http://packages.debian.org/g++ translates to
http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=g++&searchon=names&version=all&release=all
Should read "keywords=g%2B%2B" instead of "keywords=g++"
* http://bugs.debian.org/g++ translates to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=g++
Again this should be pkg=g%2B%2B
* Page http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=g%2B%2B
(URL edited by hand as written above), has a link to
http://packages.debian.org/g%2B%2B
... which translates into keywords=g++
I suppose to expansion should take place here in the contents of the
request, as this throws away all quoting
* Page http://packages.debian.org/testing/libs/libg++2.8.1.3.html
has no links to source code
Its link to bugs page is "http://bugs.debian.org/g++";, which triggers
above-mentionned problem
Hope I did not forget one ;)

It turns out that '+' are translated into ' ' when sent into cgi
scripts. I have no idea where this is documented and was only
discovered by testing. A quick look through the http spec did
not turn up anything. It's probably buried in some doc on cgi
scripts.
Anyway, I have fixed the two scripts mentioned to correct the
problem and all tests have worked.
