-----------------------
I have a Django View that uses a query parameter to so some content
filtering. Something like this:
/page/?filter=one+and+two/page/?filter=one,or,two
I have noticed that Django converts the + to a space (
request.GET.get('filter') returns one and two), and I´m OK with that. I
just need to adjust the split() function I use in the View accordingly.
*But...*
When I try to test this View, and I call:
from django.test import Client
client = Client()
client.get('/page/', {'filter': 'one+and+two'})
request.GET.get('filter') returns one+and+two: with plus signs and no
spaces. Why is this?
I would like to think that Client().get() mimics the browser behaviour, so
what I would like to understand is why calling client.get('/page/',
{'filter': 'one+two+three'}) is not like browsing to
/page/?filter=one+and+two. For testing purposes it should be the same in my
opinion, and in both cases the view should receive a consistent value for
filter: be it with + or with spaces. What I don´t get is why there are two
different behaviours.
