Parsing query parameters

Hi, I am wondering why there is a difference in query parameter handling when I am using Forms, and when I am using query parameters in the routes file.

Given this controller and routes file

GET       /method       controllers.ExperimentController.method(querySeq: List[String] ?= Nil)

class ExperimentController @Inject() (
) extends InjectedController {

  def method(
      querySeq: List[String]
  ) =
    Action.async { implicit request =>
      MyForm.form
        .bindFromRequest()
        .fold(
          errors => println("Error " + errors),
          form => println("OK" + form)
        )
      Future.successful(Ok(querySeq.toString()))
    }

}

case class MyForm(formSeq: Seq[String])

object MyForm {
  val form =
    Form(mapping("formSeq" -> seq(text))(MyForm.apply)(MyForm.unapply))
}

Calling /method?querySeq=1&querySeq=2 results in that querySeq is List(1, 2) and form.querySeq is List()

Instead the form supports this syntax: /method?querySeq[]=a&querySeq[]=b, which results in querySeq is List() and form.querySeq is List(a, b).
Notice, that in order to test it the [ and ] must be URL encoded.

I wonder why is it like that?

Thanks,
René
