Yes, but the purpose of URL encoding is to reach resources that are
named using reserved characters. So, for the filename you showed above,
the correct URL would be:
file:///usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/pg-0.11.0/ri/PGconn/internal_encoding%253d-i.yaml
^^^^^
This is because the % character is reserved. Had the file name been
"internal_encoding=.yaml", the URL would have been:
file:///usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/pg-0.11.0/ri/PGconn/internal_encoding%3d-i.yaml
^^^
Hence "broken".
