How to prevent Rails from url-encoding

rubyonrails-talk

I have a route map.connect 'browse/:languages', :controller => 'browse', :action => 'index' where I expect :languages to be something like 'en+jp+zh_tw' so that I can later do languages = params[:languages].split(' ') (because + is an equivalent of a space in a url). But Rails does url-encode all params, and I get 'en%2Bjp%2Bzh_tw'. Of course, I could .split('%2B'), but the url is getting so ugly! Is there a method to prevent Rails from url-encoding in this case?

I got with the problem by joining languages by a space instead of a plus sign. It then becomes a nice + in a url. Sorry for disturbance.
