[Qt-interest] Request to URL including percent

[KIMURA, Hidetaka]

Hello,

I am using the network component of Qt.
When I try to access a url that has a percent, it automatically encodes it
into %25 and sends it to the remote host.

Here is the sample code:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QNetworkAccessManager>
#include <QNetworkRequest>
#include <QNetworkReply>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
	QNetworkAccessManager manager;
	QNetworkRequest req(QUrl("http://example.com/a%3Ab", QUrl::StrictMode));
	QNetworkReply* rep = manager.get(req);
	app.connect(rep, SIGNAL(finished()), SLOT(quit()));

	int rv = app.exec();
	qDebug() << "URL:" << rep->url();
	return rv;
}


This program generates an HTTP request like this:
GET /a%253Ab HTTP1.1

Can I avoid this behavior and get correct request /a%3Ab ?

Thanks,
