I am passing the email address as part of the url,

for ex. http://example.com/hello/user@hotmail.com

but, when being passed to the application controller it is changed to ” user%40hotmail.com “.

I can’t seem to understand this special character escaping; confusion.
please help me explain the problem here, and also what can I do to fix it.

I am using python’s “webapp” web application framework.

    It’s being URL encoded.

    You’ll need to decode it.
