Preserve comma-bearing list items.
The affected APIs accept List[str] values and pass them directly to build_query_param. The helper joins items with a literal comma, so ["a,b", "c"] and ["a", "b", "c"] produce the same query value. The tests do not detect this collision. Encode commas inside items without reintroducing double-encoding, and add a test that preserves distinct item boundaries.

Fixes #305
Why
build_query_parampercent-encodes each list item withquoteand httpx then encodes the query string again. Any reserved character in a list item reaches the server double-encoded:read_collections(collection_refs=["food:pizza"])sendscollection_refs=food%253Apizza, which the server decodes tofood%3Apizza. Collection references always contain:, soread_collectionsanddelete_collectionsnever match a collection. getstream-go and stream-node encode list parameters once.Changes
build_query_paramjoins list items with commas and leaves the encoding to httpx, which encodes the query string once. The async variant calls the same function.test_build_query_param_with_various_typesexpects the unencoded joined value.read_collectionsthrough a mock transport and asserts that the server sees the original references.Testing
uv run pytest tests/test_query_params.py tests/test_decoding.pygives 2 failed, 28 passed ('food%3Apizza,user%40example.com,a%20b' != 'food:pizza,user@example.com,a b').make testgives 482 passed.Note
Medium Risk
Changes shared query serialization for every list query param across the client; behavior fix is intentional but could affect any API that relied on the old double-encoded form.
Overview
Fixes double URL-encoding for list-valued query parameters built by
build_query_param(and the async wrapper).List items are now joined with commas without per-item
quote(); httpx performs a single encoding when the request is sent. That restores correct values for refs containing:,@, or spaces (e.g.read_collections/delete_collectionscollection_refs).Tests now expect the raw joined string in unit tests and add an integration-style check via mock transport that
collection_refsreaches the URL asfood:pizza,user@example.com,a b.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 839ae71. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
