http link character mistranslated

http link character mistranslated

[mirko]

Hi,

(Org-mode version 8.2.5h (release_8.2.5h-651-g897b60)

I have an https address with an equal sign `=':
   https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewforum.php?f=3

When I try to access the link, the `=' is translated as `%D':
   https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewforum.php?f%3D3

I looked in org-open-at-point, and the translation appears somewhere in
org-element-property.  I did not look deeper.

I tested this in an Emacs session with only org mode loaded (no user init)

Thanks,

Mirko

I have the same problem here. It causes problem with docview and gnus
links.

IIUC, since I don't know when, org-mode encode links with percent
encoding (you can check it by turning off org-mode (e.g. M-x
fundamental-mode)).

My guess is that it is now the job of the link handler (FOLLOW arg in
org-add-link-type) to unescape the path if necessary, but I'm not sure
of it.
