URL encoding when method = :get

rubyonrails-core

Hi.

I have a form that shall create a simple GET query.

Therefore I have in my view (new.html.erb)

<% form_for(@re, :url => {:action => 'query'}, :html => { :method => :get}) do |f| %>   <p/>     <%= f.label :address %><br />     <%= f.text_area :address %>   <p/>     <%= f.submit 'Get' %>

<% end %>

But when filling out with "myplace" and clicking on the forms submit button it creates a GET URL like this:

http://test.host/query?re[address]=myplace

But I believe (accoring to Query string - Wikipedia), that shall be encoded as

http://test.host/query?re[address]=myplace

Am I right or wrong on this?

I was wrong on this:

The above string is how my browser renders the url, The actual HTTP GET request contains the percent-encoded url. http://test.host/query?re[address]=myplace

Sorry for the inconvenience
