Bug 171345 – URLSearchParams should be reflective

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Adam Duren]

Overview:

URLSearchParams does not return the same value for input generated by URLSearchParams when a param includes the `+` character.

Steps to Reproduce: 

```
var testParam = '[phone]';
var params = new URLSearchParams()
params.set('query', testParam)

var newParams = new URLSearchParams(params.toString())

console.log(params.toString())                    // query=%2B15555555555
console.log(params.get('query') === testParam)    // Pass
console.log(newParams.get('query') === testParam) // Fail
```

Actual Results: 

I would expect that getting the query param from the URLSearchParams instance that was created with the output of URLSearchParams would equal the original value.
In this case that newParams.get('query') is be ' 15555555555' instead of '[phone]'

Expected Results: 

I would expect that getting the query param from the URLSearchParams instance that was created with the output of URLSearchParams would equal the original value.

Test case:

Passes in Firefox and Chrome, fails in STP.

[Chris Dumez]

As per https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-urlencoded-parser, it looks like we should replace '+' with 0x20 *before* percent-decoding, not after.

It looks like we do this in reverse in URLParser::parseURLEncodedForm().

this is unlikely to be related.

We should make a StringView.replace that returns a String.  This does an unnecessary copy.  Maybe in a followup.

Ok, I can take a look in a follow-up
