I have a form with an input field. If a user enters a phrase surrounded
by quotes the value appears in the params object without the quotes.
For example:
I enter "have fun" in the form.
When I submit and inspect params I see:
{"q"=>"have fun", "Search"=>"Search", "controller"=>"search",
"action"=>"index"}
I look at request.query_string and see:
&q=%22have+fun%22+&Search=Search
Now if I enter the same phrase but have a space in front of it the
quotes come through:
{"q"=>" \"have fun\"", "Search"=>"Search", "controller"=>"search",
"action"=>"index"}
&q=+%22have+fun%22&Search=Search
Can anyone explain why this is and if there is a workaround?

It's a problem with the version or rack you're using...

Upgrade to a later version that has the above change in it...
