Encoding "=". Catalina does not understand http parameter with un-encoded equal sign inside param value

Hello

Catalina does not understand http parameter with un-encoded equal sign
inside
i.e. myparam=fname='alex';lname='roytman'
It use to work in Tomcat 3.x and I wonder if equal sign in parameter
value has to be encoded according to specs or not

Yep ... both equal signs and ampersandes must be encoded.  For Tomcat 3.x,
you were just lucky, I guess.
