URL encoding error

I have a TwoByte string containing Chinese characters and when I use them in

a URL it seems that they don’t get properly encoded.

Example:

                url := Net.HttpURL

                                host: 'foo.com'

                                pathString: (URLEncoder decode: 'http%3A%2F%2Ffoo%2Ecom%2Ffiles%2F%E6%B5%8B%E8%AF%95%2Etxt%3Fkey%3DWeb').

Sending pathString to url gives  '/http://foo.com/files/%6D4B%8BD5.txt?key=Web'

The problem is that I would either expect to see the Chinese characters or

%E6%B5%8B%E8%AF%95%2Etxt and not %6D4B%8BD5.txt

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

There is an open AR to review and fix URL encoding.

For now we suggest to use URLEncoder to encode path strings instead of internal URL encoding.
