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?
