Comment (by harking):
It is true that the RFC from 1994 that you linked does forbid the use of ~
in URLs and opts for the encoded version of that character. [[BR]]
[[BR]]
However, in later RFCs that are linked from the W3C's site at
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/ , specifically
http://labs.apache.org/webarch/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html , it is noted that
restriction of ~ in URLs is no longer required, and it is now the
responsibility of the code receiving the URL to normalize it to the
encoded form as needed.
I feel that allowing ~'s as a valid character in the URL validator would
be fine for a 1.2 patch.
