[REBOL] Re: decode-cgi bug (?)

Hi Hallvard,
Would this help any?
you can replace the " replace/all "this" "this" "
with a "foreach char_block" and "parse cgi (replace cgi "this" "this")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
cgi: "state=thread s&board=cult.tamaraswift&&sort=T"
char_block: ["=" {: "} "&" {" } { " } " "]
decode_cgi: func [cgi][
replace/all cgi " " " "
replace/all cgi "=" {: "}
replace/all cgi "&" {" }
replace/all cgi { " } " "
append cgi {"}
cgi: to-block cgi
cgi_object: make object! cgi
]
decode_cgi cgi
probe cgi_object
