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
Start by reproducing the request shown in the route example: send /something/long%20line and inspect the Rest value printed by the handler. Trace request-parameter decoding from the route entry point, then verify that the completed value contains an actual space rather than %20.
