What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. run godoc -http :6060 2. in a browser, type http://127.0.0.1:6060/src/pkg/url/url.go?h=%22%26%22&;s=14652:14657#L534 This will show url.parseQuery, with "Split" and "&" highlighted. 3. Now, type http://127.0.0.1:6060/src/pkg/url/url.go?h=%22%26%22;s=14652:14657#L534 What is the expected output? I would expect ";" being accepted as query string value separator, just like "&". What do you see instead? The current implementation of parseQuery seems not to recognize ";", but it handles "&". Thus the query values `h' and `s' of the second variant cannot be decoded. Which revision are you using? (hg identify) tip:47d429aad39c Please provide any additional information below. Apparently some cgi's and html pages rely on ";" being accepted as a value separator in query strings, besides "&". There is a recommendation suggesting this behaviour at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 . Would a patch addressing this be welcome, or, on the contrary, has ";" been left out by intention?
