Hi there, I realized today that rails does some automatic (url?) decoding of cookie values. I assume it is because if you set a cookie, the value is also url encoded.
The problem is that the cookie specification does not seem to specify the need of encoding. Thus, if an external application sets a cookie (e.g. a domain cookie where apps are on multiple subdomains) it can happen that it is decoded although it was not encoded. A simple example is that a non-encoded cookie containing "a+b" results in the ruby string "a b" when accessed in Rails. I wanted to ask if anyone knows any details about this behavior or if it is possible to access the raw string?
