Bug#564311: epiphany-webkit: fails with URLs containing a % char

[Alvaro Herrera]

Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.29.3-1
Severity: important


I just noticed that for this URL, epiphany-webkit displays an error
page:
http://archives.postgresql.org/msgtxt.php?id=BF7C63B0.3C0F%dpage@vale-housing.co.uk

I haven't checked whether this applies to other uses of the % char, but
I suspect there's a bug in the URL parser here.  Obviously the "%7e"
stuff (and other hex escapes, I guess) work fine, but since this one is
not a valid hex digit, it errors out.

Firefox is able to see that page without a problem.
