How to unescape in query_string double semicolons?

Question

I have following request:

/posts?from=45&q=mad;;depot&size=15

But controller params is:

{\"from\"=>\"45\",
 \"q\"=&g         


        

Answer 1

I think you will have to encode your params first to

/posts?from=45&q=mad%3B%3Bdepot&size=15

Then Rails will recognize it correctly.
