In addition to encoding the text as shown in Solution 1, if you use the "data" attribute and put the vehicleName in there then jQuery will encode the text for you.

The standard encodeURI() method that the framework uses for AJAX is skipping the '+'. I'm not sure why the '-' are getting stripped, though.

Try this:

JavaScript

url: baseUri + 'api/Purchases/BookingByVehicleName/?VehicleName=' + encodeURIComponent(vehicleName),
