PHP 4.0 Bug #6685: %20 mis-converted in GET mechanism

From: waldschrott@php.net Operating system: * PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: %20 mis-converted in GET mechanism I guess this is has the potential to be a serious bug since I think I´m allowed to take any key/value pairs I want to if encoded correctly, very simple to reproduce Call a page with this QueryString ?%20asd%20%20=%20asdf (you can replace %20 with + if you want to, same effect) and look what happened to to the key part of key=value <?php var_dump($HTTP_GET_VARS); ?> all leading spaces are stripped, all trailing ones converted to "_" - that really does not make sense, I don´t know what else is converted with mystic rules, I found these The only workaround is to access the QueryString directly which seems to be fine (of course)
