What is the problem you are having with rclone?
When using an HTTP source, files that have + in their names are requested with it instead of %2B (URLencode symbol, like %20 for space), which means the server returns a 404 error.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.68.0-beta.8116.31fabb340
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)

- os/type: windows

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone sync http_server:"No-Intro/Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (Headered)/" "Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (Headered)"/ -vv --no-check-certificate --transfers 8 --checkers 16 --size-only --http-no-head

A log from the command with the -vv flag
LOG created with --dump header to see the requests, so the log is big, unwieldy and has multiple different requests of different files, all similar. For this message, I isolated all the entries of a specific file. A more complete log can be provided, if requested.

If I simply copy/paste the HTTP GET request url and paste it on my browser, I also get a 404.
If I replace the + signal on the filename with the URLencode symbol (%2B) and paste it on my browser, the file will download.
This seems similar to rclone copy with http remote fails with HTTP Error: 404 Not Found when URL contains question mark · Issue #7637 · rclone/rclone · GitHub, but that related to question marks. Changing the "no_escape" option in the config file or rsync config doesn't change the behavior.
