Decode/unescape a portion of a URL, to use with the query part ensure {@code plusAsBlank} is true.

@param content     the portion to decode
@param charset     the charset to use
@param plusAsBlank if {@code true}, then convert '+' to space (e.g. for www-url-form-encoded content), otherwise leave as is.
@return encoded string
Decode / unescape a portion of a URL to use with the query part ensure { @code plusAsBlank } is true .
