Hi,

I just need to decode a query string for a HTTP service, but I can't find a function to do that. I can't begin to imagine that I'm the first person with a need like that. In the uri package there are encodeQuery and encodeUrl functions, there is decodeUrl but no decodeQuery. Where is that function?

Thank you

I think I found it in IRC logs : not yet implemented (and it's difficult to the the API design right, which I agree) : https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/7761

cgi.decodeData seems to do the job although not well documented (that's what jester is using)

decodeQuery is available on devel branch.

I had issues with standard library parsing and generating query strings so I wrote my own lib: https://github.com/treeform/urlly but its nice seeing the std lib improving.
