HttpGadgetContext.getUserPrefs() doesn't decode German umlaute correctly
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-482
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-482
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: any
Reporter: christof kaleschke
When the user prefs contain values with German umlaute (like ä, ü, ö) they
aren't decoded correctly in the HttpGadgetContext.getUserPrefs() method.
It seems that it is assumed (later in the JavaScript that is returned to the
browser) that these user prefs are encoded with encodeURIComponent() and the
sample container encodes the user prefs with encodeURIComponent in the method
gadgets.IfrGadget.prototype.getUserPrefsParams(). I tried to simply change the
.getUserPrefsParams() method to use escape() but then I get JavaScript errors
later on when I call var prefs = new gadgets.Prefs(); in the gadget.
In my opinion it would be enough to encode those user prefs with escape().
