Hi RsH,

Thanks for the example. I can see what is happening here, I just need to figure out what I am going to do about it

The problem is that at the moment the plugin is trying to pass the results of a quote_plus encoding of the values in the POST body of the html file generated. When instead I think perhaps the characters should just be "escaped" instead.

So at the moment the hidden form in the temporary file that gets submitted has a line that looks like this:
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="Quinn%27s Woman" />

When I think it should probably be like this:
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="Quinn\'s Woman" />

I'm guessing there is a Python function around to do this... will be a new release when I have it figured out.
