url - Possible side effect using comma in querystring? -
i'd use , in url querystring value it reserved character. however, can see many e-commerce sites give comma-galore querystring urls in these days.
what consider when use , in querystring? should encoded %2c always?
note server-side frameworks asp.net webapi, django, , node.js.
the uri standard doesn’t define delimiters query component. none of reserved characters have special role there, represent data.
the query component may contain following characters:
a-z,a-z0-9/?:@!$&'()*+,;=-._~- percent-encoded characters
 
so may use , and/or %2c in query component. note , , %2c not equivalent normalization purposes (because , part of reserved set).
all of above generic uri syntax. uri schemes may define additional delimiters (from reserved set) components, http/https uri scheme spec doesn’t query component.
a possible side effect (like many other allowed characters, too) some auto-linking algorithms might not work correctly.
(the applications use may of course specific , in query strings, nothing special character, happen other character, too.)
