Comment:
I'm fairly sure that this is present in the dev server specifically
because it mimics Apache's behavior -- as you've discovered. Changing this
would mean that the dev server would behave differently than production
servers.
In fact, poking further, this is more or less
[http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/#url-reconstruction enshrined by
the WSGI spec] -- it's expected that you'll need to re-quote the path if
you need to construct the originally given URL.
Further, this would be a devestatingly difficult-to-debug backwards-
incompatible change.
Given all that, I'm marking this wontfix: there's simply no real upside to
making this change.
