Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Apt should convert % -> %25 in http urls, I know that it is prohibited by
policy, but if somebody have to do it (for various reasons), it will only
work with file, ftp, but not with http.
Thanks,
Gergely

RFC1738:
"The character "%" is unsafe because..."
"All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL."
A URL cannot contain unescaped "%" characters; they must be escaped. apt
would have no way to discern between a "%" meant literally and a "%" which
begins an escape sequence, so it could not do this job even if it wanted to.
