Hello list,

If I insert a http:// link containing question marks, the verbatim link being inserted in the org document has the question mark escaped.

For example the link 

http://mpcjanssen.nl/fossil/simpletask/tktview?name=ee0504fc8c

is actually inserted as:

[[http://mpcjanssen.nl/fossil/simpletask/tktview?name%3Dee0504fc8c][bug]]

This works fine when clicking the link from emacs, but breaks when exporting to html. Then it is exported as:

<a href="http://mpcjanssen.nl/fossil/simpletask/tktview?name%3Dee0504fc8c">bug</a>

This will not work.

Is this an error in the html exporter or in org mode itself? I would expect the link to be included verbatim in the .org file.

Regards,
Mark
