Wrong parsing paremeters with a semilocon ( ; ) char
Reported by Alexander C | March 19th, 2010 @ 12:08 AM | in 3.0.2
When I post some parameter to any controller in my app ( rails 2.3.5 ) something like this:
name=Alexander;Cabezas
I get this:
{"html"=>"Alexander", "Cabezas"=>nil}
Apparently, it isn't parsing well the parameters with semicolon character on it.
Any thoughts?

This is an issue with Rack's parameter parsing. While it's legal for them to treat ; as a separator, it's probably a poor choice:
The problem is in rack/utils.rb:29
DEFAULT_SEP = /[&;] */n -

Whether it's a poor choice is open for debate but it is a W3C recommendation that the semicolon is supported as a parameter separator:
