Comment:
Seems like this has already been re-considered, but I'd like to add my
$0.02. I also came across this problem where someone copy pasted a URL
and %20 was encoded %2520 which makes the URL unusable. My argument
against re-encoding is simple:
- By changing the behavior, the use case:
http://www.mystore.com/30%OffCoupons! can be worked around by encoding the
URL by hand (stick it in your address bar, then copy/paste it)
- The current behavior cannot be worked around, it renders URLs
entirely useless
I feel that while the other comments lead someone to believe that
copy/paste is the majority case as an argument (as it may well be), that
more importantly, the current behavior cannot be worked around without
code change. Given that, will the current behavior be changed?
