urldecode in ruby?
How do I transform
www.bestbuy.com/site/Electronics\Audio\abcat0200000.c=3fid=3dabcat0200000
into its original format?

Is there a urldecode?
Solution 1:
A better method is CGI.unescape:
URI.unescape is deprecated
decoded_uri = CGI.unescape(encoded_uri)
Solution 2:
Via decode:
require 'uri'
URI.decode(encoded_uri)
Ruby 2.7 and above:
require 'uri'
URI.decode_www_form_component(encoded_uri)
Solution 3:
The equivalent of PHP's urldecode in Ruby is CGI::unescape.
