request/response parameters are encoded by browser by default?

Question

when i send the request to webserver, as per my understanding , browsers does not encode the request paramtersfor example :- some value entered by user under textarea (be it post or get form submission) by default. Similarly webservers(specially tomcat) does not do that. Is my understanding correct?

i am aware browser/webserver do the encoding/decoding foe url by default but not sure about request paramters?

For URL encoding on servers you need to configure in the application server, here is the link Configuring URL Encoding on Tomcat
