Sebb commented on CODEC-228:
----------------------------
This is because the code uses
new String(decoded_bytes, charset)
to convert the result, and the behaviour of that ctor is unspecified for bytes
that are invalid.
There are probably other instances of this in the code base.
> URLCodec.decode does not throw DecoderException with invalid UTF-8
