Problem with encodable characters in artifact name such as plus

Hello,

I'm following the full semantic version spec (http://semver.org), which includes a part for build metadata. This is included after a plus sign, like this:

CIVersionTest-v1.0.0+6.unstable.git3d7d41e3.zip

It appears that attempting to create an artifact with a name that includes a plus sign (I also tried using %3b) results in a 404 not found.

Details:

This worked:

Push-AppveyorArtifact
C:\projects\test2\CIVersionTest\bin\CIVersionTest-v1.0.0.zip
CIVersionTest-v1.0.0.zip

This worked (note I'm using "t" instead of "+"):

Push-AppveyorArtifact
C:\projects\test2\CIVersionTest\bin\CIVersionTest-v1.0.0.zip
CIVersionTest-v1.0.0t7.unstable.git3d7d41e3.zip

This resulted in an error:

Push-AppveyorArtifact
C:\projects\test2\CIVersionTest\bin\CIVersionTest-v1.0.0.zip
CIVersionTest-v1.0.0+6.unstable.git3d7d41e3.zip

Exception calling "AddArtifact" with "4" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."

For now I'm just going to use a different character instead of plus in the zip file name, but if this ever fixed let me know and I'll switch it to using a plus so it matches the semantic version used throughout the rest of the system, thanks!

   OK, + is now supported in file names. Give it another try and let me know how it goes.
