title: Sinatra encoding query string
body: <p>I've made a very simple sinatra application which displays a frameset with 3 frames. When I set the 'src' parameter for the the frames however, sinatra re-encodes the query string I chose. </p>
  
  <p>For example I enter:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"url.com/page?var1=val1&amp;var2=val2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I end up seeing however is something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"url.com/page?var1=val1&amp;amp;var2=val2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All my &amp;'s were turned into &amp;-a-m-p-;'s. Is there anyway to disable this? Why does this happen?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
