Details

(Keywords: crash)

Some embedding clients crash when the user requests an URL containing a %-escaped character in the host name (for example, http://netscape%20com).
I believe the real question here is how does a % encoded URI get created and subsequently loaded in an embedding client. we certainly shouldn't be crashing, but we shouldn't be trying to load a % encoded URI at the top level anyway.
