Params encoding

[adas291]

Why param string is encoded. I have handler like: e.GET("/realtime/:city/:stopIDs", handler.method)`
stopIDs is a string that is separated by &, like param1&param2&param3. It is not query param it is just regular string. However when i get value using c.Param("stopIDs"), & sign is replaced with %26, is there config or other way to prevent this behavior.

The reason that is happening is because of URL encoding. This is a function of the browser and the internet, not of your website or server. To solve this issue, you can parse your URL slug to the format you would like to use or parse the %26 line. All of this is dandy, but you can just solve your issue by using query parameters. It would only be a few lines of code with Echo and would save you a lot of headache.
