I'm not sure why raw-request-param is used. To avoid decoding and casting? I
think it's not good practice. Try to use url-encode[1] and request-param
modules:
{url-encode:{request-param:PLACE}}

It works for me very well.

RFC[2] says:
400 Bad Request

The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax.

I think it's error due to not escapted spaces or other characters.

AFAIK Browsers escape charactacters automatically.

Hope this help.
