Context.formParam() does not decode the keys

Actual behavior (the bug) When you submit a form using POST method, the input names are encoded by the browser. For example, <input name="user[type]" value="admin"> will be submitted in POST body as: user%5Btype%5D=admin I would expect it to be decoded by javalin, so that I can get it by calling: Context.formParam("user[type]") But this doesn’t work. The formParams map keeps the keys in the encoded form, so i have to use it this way: Context.formParam("user%5Btype%5D") This is really awkward, and definitely looks like a bug. Was it done for purpose this way? Or am i missing some configuration settings?

Expected behavior Context.formParam(“user[type]”) should return the value “admin”, not null

To Reproduce Just create a form with method=POST and a input named “user[type]” or similar, and submit it, and try accessing the param value via Context.formParam

I would argue that it’s fine in this case, this is an actual bug that’s being fixed.
