Failing to add packages which includes "++" with REST API

[rgupta]

I am trying to add package libstdc++33-32bit using REST API.
Here is the command I am using

- I have xxxxxx out my key

 curl -u rgupta2:xxxxxxx -d /tmp/junk1 http://susestudio.com/api/v1/user/appliances/359544/cmd/add_package

<success>
  <details>
<status>
  <state>equal</state>
  <packages_added>0</packages_added>
  <packages_removed>0</packages_removed>
</status>
  </details>
</success>

- It seems I can add all other packages.
- It must be something to do with ++ or special characters in the package name

-content of /tmp/junk1
name=libstdc++33-32bit
