Rack::Utils.parse_query doesn't work for google refers (Rack 1.2.1)

[bobserr]

Using Rack 1.2.1, Rails 2.3.8, 1.8.7

Hi, is anyone else having issues with Rack::Utils.parse_query under
Rack 1.2.1?

The following string does not parse properly. This is a HTTP_REFERER
string from Google:

http://www.google.com/search?q=4069431971&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

The following is returned:

{"oe"=>"utf-8", "http://www.google.com/search?q"=>"4069431971",
"rls"=>"org.mozilla:en-US:official", "aq"=>"t", "client"=>"firefox-a",
"ie"=>"utf-8"}

Note, the first parameter, "q", is parsed as "http://www.google.com/
search?q" rather than simply "q". This isn't correct.

Thanks,

Bob

Please note that parse_query does exactly that, it parses a query string.
