            Bug ID: 60526
           Summary: Apostrophes in URL titles causing problems
           Product: QRpedia
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: kel...@kiwix.org
          Reporter: morton.tho...@googlemail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Some codes have been created using a pasted URL with urlencoding (e.g. ' was
pasted as %27). This has caused problems because the QR Code encodes the url
further rendering it as %2527.

I temporarily fixed the problem by removing one urlencoding step in the
qrwp.org forwarder code.

However, this needs fixing long term.

I suggest that QRpedia.org interface needs to silently convert any encoded urls
into their un-encoded variant. And we need some sanity checking in the
forwarder code to handle edge cases.
