[Http-webtest-general] wt script file - email address in params

[Sean O'N. <so...@ci...>]

I am using the WebTest module and have created a test script to submit a
web form.   One of the text box fields on the web form requires entry of
an email address.  On submit, the form will process the page and send an
email to the address submitted with the form.  When I include the email
address in the params section of the script, the script succeeds, but no
email is sent.
 
Here is a code snipet and the script test results:
 
test_name = Submit Test
  click_button = Submit
  params = ( name => Joe
                   email => js...@my... )
  regex_require = ( Email confirmation sent )
end_test
 
Here is a snipet from the script run results:
URL: http://www.somedomain.com/form1.plx?name=Joe
<http://www.somedomain.com/form1.plx?name=Joe&email=jsmith%40mydomain.co
m> &email=jsmith%40mydomain.com
 
Is this problem due to the params section of code not interpreting the
"@" sign as a literal?  Do I need to use some combo of quotes around the
email address in params?
 
Thanks in advance,
Sean O.
