Rails - Nov 2005 - cookie coding problem

Hi, guys
My Cookie is
Cookies[:test] => {:value => "<<<joe>>>",
                   :expires => 1.day.from_now,
                   :path => "/"}
But when i open this cookie i found
value has been encoded like: %3C%3C%3Cjoe%3E%3E%3E.
I need not encode value.
How to solve this problem

Joe, I think it is because cookies are passed to the browser via http,
and the text in it therefore has to be web "safe". If you used
different delimiters like --joe--, it would probably not get
"translated".
