title: Python Bottle how to read request parameters
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://dingyonglaw.github.com/bootstrap-multiselect-dropdown/#forms" rel="noreferrer">http://dingyonglaw.github.com/bootstrap-multiselect-dropdown/#forms</a> to display a dropdown with multiple check boxes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;
    &lt;label&gt;
      &lt;input type="checkbox" name="filters" value="first value"&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;First Value&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/label&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
  
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;label&gt;
      &lt;input type="checkbox" name="filters" value="second value"&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;Second Value&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/label&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the resulting URL: </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/search?filters=first+value&amp;filters=second+value
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On Server side (bottle):</p>
  
  <pre><code>terms = unicode (request.query.get ('filters', ''), "utf-8")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will give me only "second value" and ignore "first value". Is there a way of collecting all the 'filters' values?</p>
