Quoting from Debian bug #573186[0]:

Some HTTP URLs have literal '?' in them. Since '?' also separates the
 path from query arguments, it needs to be escaped in the first case.
 These are examples of the two cases:

 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F
   (literal '?')
 - http://www.google.com/search?q=org+mode (query separator)

These are the URLs generated by Org mode when exporting them to HTML:

 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf?
 - http://www.google.com/search?q=org+mode

 I.e. '?' is left as is, but '%3f' is unescaped, producing the wrong
URL (don't be fooled by the fact that Wikipedia actually accepts it ;)
 ).  This makes impossible to correctly export an HTTP URL with a
 literal question mark in it.

 The solution would be to leave '%3f' as is, too, in the same way as
 '%27' has been left as is in the previous example.

Hasn't anyone come across this behaviour? I think it's a bug which should be fixed since it makes some URLs impossible to write. And according to that last
sentence, the solution doesn't seem too hard.

Hi Ivan,

the bug has not yet been fixed because my time is limited. Please consider submitting a patch.
