Local fix
Problem summary
While using HttpUtils.parsePostData() method
to decode values, it fails to decode properly and returns wrong
values.  As the method parsePostData does not decode the
encoded values properly, it makes the customer feel the server
is returning the incorrect data.
Problem conclusion
Code has been written in the RequestUtils.
parseName() method so that the decoding is done correctly -
that is, the encoding scheme is used while decoding the string.
The change was made in RequestUtils.java.
