.decode_www_form_component(str, enc = Encoding::UTF_8) ⇒ Object

Returns a string decoded from the given URL-encoded string str.

The returned string:

• Preserves:

  • Characters '*', '.', '-', and '_'.

  • Character in ranges 'a'..'z', 'A'..'Z', and '0'..'9'.

  Example:

  Bundler::URI.decode_www_form_component('*.-_azAZ09')
  # => "*.-_azAZ09"
  

• Converts:

  • Character '+' to character ' '.

  • Each “percent notation” to an ASCII character.

  Example:

  Bundler::URI.decode_www_form_component('Here+are+some+punctuation+characters%3A+%2C%3B%3F%3A')
  # => "Here are some punctuation characters: ,;?:"
