S3 invalid signature generation

signatureV4.rb can generate signatures with + signs
ex) "x-amz-id-2"       => "5t1UgVprgnyMWwzu2C43kMLkKmdzmeFGDPzpFrLRM68TA1dMGNJp+7unLo6iKLko"
amazon however generates the hash with the + symbol escaped e.g) "5t1UgVprgnyMWwzu2C43kMLkKmdzmeFGDPzpFrLRM68TA1dMGNJp%2B7unLo6iKLko"
resulting in the request being rejected every time. Other symbols seem to have the same effect.

Other examples of people with this problem when interacting with S3:

https://coderwall.com/p/56a9ja

I believe the underlying cause is due to the fact S3 accepts the signature in both the header and as a query param and they are using the same code for both (i.e. + signs and / are invalid in the query param for obvious reasons) As a result any signature that gets generated with a special character in a url query param would be invalid in the header.
