I have a very strange behaviour with POST keys.

Consider a test:

wtf.html:

=== Cut ===
<form action="eh.php" method="POST">
    <input type="checkbox" name="many spaces and. . dots. . "/>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
=== Cut ===

eh.php:

=== Cut ===
<?php
    print_r($_POST);
?>
=== Cut ===

When we check the checkbox and click the Sumbit button we will see:

Array ( [many_spaces_and____dots____] => on )

It is send to server normally:

many+spaces+and.+.+dots.+.+=on

but in $_POST (or $HTTP_POST_VARS) we see what we see. Any ideas?
