HtmlUnitRequestBuilder should decode request parameter names [SPR-14177]

[spring-projects-issues]

Martin Mahr opened SPR-14177 and commented

Request parameter name isn't decoded in method HtmlUnitRequestBuilder.params, but it should be.

Current implementation cannot handle URLs like:

http://server.cz/search?row[0]=foo&row[1]=bar

because it's encoded like:

http://server.cz/search?row%5B0%5D=foo&row%5B1%5D=bar

and HtmlUnitRequestBuilder leaves it as it is. The parameters then aren't mapped to @RequestParams or @ModelAttribute because of encoded special characters.

Thanks for the report! This is now fixed in 87ed8e9. This should be done building in the next hour or so and you can try the latest SNAPSHOT.
