 Replying to [comment:2 gsathya]:
 > Spaces get encoded as a '+', Atlas and Onionoo need to be fixed to use
 that. Spaces aren't a legal part of the querystring(not safe either). I
 figured it might be better to stick to the RESTful API conventions which
 is using "multiple parameter values", but if it's going to be a pain to
 change, then we should at least use url encoded spaces.

 We can do either '+' or multiple parameter values.  I'm fine with either.
 If you say multiple parameter values conform more to the RESTful API
 conventions, let's do that.  (Do you have a link stating that?)

 Oh, this just comes to mind: it may be that we didn't use '+', because
 Tomcat didn't support it for some reason.  That limitation will go away
 once we switch to Pyonionoo.  Tomcat does support multiple parameter
 values, though.

 We just need to keep supporting the current space-separated values for
 another two or three months in parallel to that, or we'll break existing
 applications without prior notice.
