Grails

space characters in params in the remoteLink tag are not being translated to spaces in the controller action

Description

Given a tag like the following:

<g:remoteLink action="doIt" params="[param:'This is a test']">Testy</g:remoteLink>

When actioned, in the controller the params.param string looks like this: "This+is+a+test". The '+'s should be translated back into spaces in the controller, as per the behaviour of g.link (which works as expected).

This still does not work for me in 1.1.1 and 1.2-M2. Given the view and controller as follows:

View
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Simple GSP page</title>
    <g:javascript library="prototype/prototype" />
</head>
<body>

<g:remoteLink action="doIt" params="[param:'This is a test']">Testy</g:remoteLink>

</body>
</html>
Controller
def doIt =
{
    log.debug "$params"
}

Still shows the following in the debug:

[param:This+is+a+test, action:doIt , controller:woo]

The remoteLink tag gives the following html:

<a onclick="new Ajax.Request('/testApp/woo/doIt',{asynchronous:true,evalScripts:true,parameters:'param=This+is+a+test'});
return false;" href="/testApp/woo/doIt?param=This+is+a+test">Testy</a>

My work around is to replace '+'s with spaces in the controller, but obviously this isn't going to work too well if there are valid '+'s in there (perhaps entrered by user).

Affect Versions needs changing to reflect this.
