Hi Allan,

Thanks, but I'm afraid that doesn't help - the /sh keyword isn't
necessary as I use an option on the wget (-o) that pipes it to stdout.
There is no problem with the wget operation as long as there is no _ in
the query string, the problem is when I want to send the query itself as
a URL - hence all spaces turn into %20, and + and ? confuse the cgi
script at the other end. If the URL is encoded properlly, this is not a
problem - the other end can decode it fine... but the encoding is an issue.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Ben
