[Interest] Difference between QUrl::fromEncoded and QUrl::fromPercentEncoding ?

[Mandeep Sandhu]

It seems completely understandable to me. A URL is:

>
>         URL = [scheme ":"] [authority] [path] ["?" query] ["#" fragment]
> with
>         authority = "//" [userinfo "@"] [host] [":" port]
>
> (technically, a URL cannot have an empty scheme, but a "URL reference" can,
> and QUrl parses like that)
>
> Since the input had no ":", there was no scheme. Since the input had no

> it also had no authority. That means everything from the beginning until
> "?"
> or "#" was the path.

Ok. I thought the scheme, host etc was being interpreted _after_ decoding
the string.

A Url like the one in this post is quite possible if it came as part of
another url (eg: a url encoded as a parameter).

Thanks for the clarification.
