My apologies for not having full disclosure.
Pharo 4, new image, freshly installed Zinc stable version.
Xubuntu 15.04
That is what I thought would happen and what I tried first. But it is
not being encoded from what I can find.
Inspect this in a workspace/playground.
ZnClient new
https;
host: 'google.com';
addPath: '/commaTest';
queryAt: 'fields' put: 'displayName,instrument,pip';
yourself
View the request / requestLine / uri. The commas are still present in
the URI.
So I tried encoding myself and get the other error.
Of course Google won't understand this and in this snippet won't receive it.
And please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Any help greatly appreciated.
