161242 - Need to consider adding support for unescaping non-ascii filenames from URLs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163682

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This is a followup to bug 76799.  The patch there fixes the most common cases,
but the various intl cases will need some care.  We will need:

1) A function like nsUnescape that works on Unicode (will likely need a charset)
2) A way to call it from JS.

I sort of wonder how the status bar manages to show the url with the right chars
(including the %-encoded stuff, as far as I can tell....)

OK.  Now that bug 155569 this is "easy"... except the save as code passes around
URL _strings_ instead of URI objects.  So we don't have charset information,
since it also does not pass along the document...

Taking; I'll try to work on a fix for this suckiness.
