Yes, it's a bug in Qt 4, bug I won't fix it because it's not that important and would require a major change. QUrl in Qt 4 has quite a few known issues with encoding and decoding of delimiters too. And its QString constructor is a completely flawed design and should never be used. QUrl changed considerably in Qt 5 to comply better with the URL specifications and with brokenness out there. If we add anything to the documentation, it would be the previous sentence, with no extra details. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
