request URL encoding different in Prod vs. Dev

[llad]

From what I can tell, strings pulled from the request URL are encoded
differently in dev than in production, at least on Mac OS X.

Example:
1) I use a simple regex to grab data from the request URL as part of
my main():
...
(r'/mosaic/(.*)', views.Mosaic)
...

2) My request handler grabs that data as "title":
...
def get(self, title):
...

3) "title" is encoded differently in production than in the
development environment on Mac OS X 10.5.4. E.g.,
URL = http://test.com/mosaic/foo%20bar
In dev, title = "foo%2520bar"
In prod, title = "foo bar"

-------
I have changed my code to manage, but I'd rather not have to adjust
this for dev and prod.

Anybody else having this issue?

Thanks.

Not long ago I tested this and the behavior was the same on prod and
dev ("foo%2520bar"). It looks like the bug finally got fixed on the
production servers and my guess is that we'll soon get an SDK update
that includes the fix, so we can finally work with correct URL
handling ("foo bar").

could someone confirm this issue?

for example, given http://localhost:8084/blah%3Ablah:
self.request.url = "http://localhost:8084/blah%3Ablah%3A"

so the encoding of ":" is not encoded, while ":" itself is encoded.
