url encoding for arrays

[jurrack]

Hi,

recently I had some problems with your encoding of arrays in the query params.
While adding an index in the brackets is a nice idea to make sure the array will be sorted correctly. But most it seems to break with the W3C suggestion (http://www.w3.org/TR/url/#collect-the-url-parameters) and implementation in some frameworks.

An option for setting the array encoding would be nice. So you could enable or disable this feature.

Best regards
Steffen

P.S.: Thanks for building Typhoeus.

hey @jurrack,

can you describe how you expect them to be serialized? The reason why it is implemented in that way are nested hashes or arrays. Also in case you are working with rails or rack there is something you can do about it: http://rubydoc.info/gems/typhoeus/0.6.3/frames/Rack/Typhoeus/Middleware/ParamsDecoder.

Hi @i0rek ,

I would expect them to be serialized as :

?my_array[]=1&my_array[]=2&...&my_array[]=n

or

?my_array=1&my_array=2&...&my_array=n

I just overloaded Ethon::Easy::Queryable to my needs.

@jurrack You could add a config variable for it and use it to decide what to do. Do you want to take a stab at it?

Can anyone share a bit more detailed insights on how to implement this?
We have to deal with API, which accepts only "?my_array=1&my_array=2&...&my_array=n" way to pass arrays.

@jurrack Could you please share your code overriding Ethon::Easy::Queryable?

Thank you in advance!

It should be as simple as changing this line to:

key = prefix
