Yes, it's my fault, it's buggy.

'+' is a space only in the query part of the URL, not in the path part 
where it must be kept as is.

Maybe FromUrl() could transform '+' in space after it has encountered a 
literal '?'.

Note that "AB+12.txt" is not URL, so there is no reason to send it to 
FromURL().

And there should be no problem with Url(), as '+' is always encoded into 
'%2B'.
