This was fixed as part of bug 1651923 in 1.4 (zesty and newer), and now
we even use the http method for https. The fix is also available in
xenial, starting with 1.2.19.

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1651923
   apt https method decodes redirect locations and sends them to the destination undecoded.

Title:
  Escape plus character in apt HTTPS requests to work around Amazon S3
  bug

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As noted in bug#1003633, S3 is broken when a + sign exists unless it
  is escaped.  This was fixed in 2013 for http based repos.  However, it
  is still broken for https based repositories.

  Escaping the + sign fixes the issue when testing with wget:
