Problem inserting the % into my database

[desbest]

Hi everyone

I really love ramaze but I'm having a problem with it that seems serious.

Basically, when I try to insert the % symbol into my database or have % in my POST data, I get a fatal exception and the page fails to load.

Below is the line that is causing the problem.

data = request.subset(:content, :post_id)

When post data contains a % symbol, I get an exception.

I'm using ruby 1.9.3 or 1.9.4 and Ramaze 2012.04.14 which is are old versions.

Here's the stack trace of the error which says

ArgumentError: invalid %-encoding?

Can anyone help? It'd me much appreciated.

Do you want the literal '%' character?

There might be some conflict with that character also being used for CGI
encoding (e.g. '%3A' is the character ':')

So if it ends up in some input that then gets CGI unescaped it might
bork something.

Maybe.

Yes I want the literal % character. I am typing it from my keyboard.

Any ideas?
