The CGI server no longer unquotes the query string thanks to the fix for Issue
24657. The fix should be in the next (2.7.11) release.

Image you had the following URL.
http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/test.cgi?q=Dolce%26Gabbanap=1
os.environ['QUERY_STRING'] would hold the value
q=DolceGabbanap=1
If you ran the following code, you would be unable to get the value of the q
paramater in full.
import
New submission from John S:
I created a simple CGI script that outputs the query string passed to it:
```
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n\n'
print os.environ['QUERY_STRING']
```
I saved it as cgi-bin/test.cgi and made it executable. I then ran `python -m
Eric V. Smith added the comment:
I would expect the cgi script to receive the unescaped values. Can you point to
some reference that says otherwise?
