Getting space for + sign in apex while reading value from URL
We have a requirement where we are encrypting Salesforce ID value using Crypto class method. Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV('AES128', key, data);
But it generates a key which contains + sign and when we read this value in apex we get space for that + sign.
We tried EncodingUtil.urlDecode and EncodingUtil.urlEncode. In that case + sign is getting converted into %2B and again we get space for that in the apex.
For Ex -
Encoded value in URL gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV+p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl
Encoded value in Apex
gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl
can someone please suggest how to handle the situation?
We can handle spaces by replacing it with + sign. But I am not sure if it will throw an error for any specific characters/case.

Convert the string to URL encode
EncodingUtil.urlEncode('gAbH0FIEK5l2m8wVKTV+p4R5QLay2D9jZ2BgsyQ3mJ1/9puMMIne6y5P6i3ZRidl','UTF-8');Which will replace it to Now in class simply get it from apex usingapexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('parameter Name');and use it you will get expected output.Hope this resolves the issue.
