No, it's not fixed -- I'm conflicted about how to best fix it, i.e., my
comment from 2004-08-18 11:31.

My thoughts on this matter at this point in time:

1) I do NOT want to go breaking backwards compatibility.
2) I do NOT want to go introducing new Tcl procs if we don't have to.

What makes this even more frustrating is that the best solution to this
problem isn't simple.  It might be made simpler by decoupling the URL
decoding code that AOLserver uses when parsing request URLs from the
code that powers ns_urlencode/ns_urldecode.  This way, the server can
easily Do The Right Thing(tm) when parsing request URLs, independently
of all the problems we'll have changing the behavior of
ns_urlencode/ns_urldecode with regards to backwards compatibility.

Thoughts?
