By that logic, your previous URL

http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/releases/org/jenkins-ci/plugins/build-monitor-plugin/1.0+build.14/

would be equivalent to

http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/releases/org/jenkins-ci/plugins/build-monitor-plugin/1.0%20build.14/

That last link however yields a 404, not a directory listing.

I seems to me you confused application/x-www-form-urlencoded with the 
encoding rules for a URI.
