HttpListenInput alters received data with url.QueryUnescape #1124

Closed simonpasquier closed 9 years ago

I see no reason why HttpListenInput calls url.QueryUnescape() on the received body [1]. As such if the data contains '+' characters, they will be transformed as ' '. And any data containing a '%' character not followed by two hexadecimal digits will be dropped.

Related to this, it appears this causes issues with environment variables as well:
