Issue by kelebra Sunday Jun 19, 2016 at 04:05 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/20802

Hi, guys,

I've been playing around with aka-http and found out that when I have a route like this:

get {
    path("something" / Rest) { info =>
              println(info)
              complete(s"You entered: $info")
    }
}

and send get to /something/long%20line the info variable is actually equal to long%20line. Maybe it would be nice to add at least implicit method to replace %20 to actual spaces like info.withSpaces or it would be make this king of behavior default?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the path matching code in the Akka HTTP routing DSL, specifically the Rest directive, and add support for decoding percent encoded spaces.
