Subject: Why is there quote parsing on queries?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:20:20 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2d67024e-41cd-493b-838d-cf06cf4b64ce@g28g2000prb.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Rack currently parses out quoted values such that you get this:
foo='bar' # => {"foo" => "bar"}
Rather than this:
foo='bar' # => {"foo" => "'bar'"}
I came across this when I was trying to send multiple quoted values
through a text field such that:
Text Field Encoded String String After
Parsing
"'a' 'b'" %27a%27+%27b%27 "a' 'b"
" 'a' 'b' " +%27a%27+%27b%27+ " 'a' 'b' "
It seems confusing because when a user adds spaces, the quotes are
suddenly preserved. Obviously a user could work around this by
quoting the whole thing (ie "\"'a' 'b'\"") but I just wanted to know
if this is part of the URL specification someplace, or is quote
parsing a convention introduced by rack?
