When the URL above is re-written using "%" symbol, it does not work
either, because
now it is "%" that gets double qouted. Of course, you have to type '\
%' in the URL,
otherwise % would be replaced by the active file.
Currently, the autocommands plugin/netrwPlugin.vim load URLs by
constructing an
"exe Nread ... fnameescape(expand('<amatch>'))" command,
where fnameescape causes double quoted "?" or "%" symbols. However,
executing without
fnameescape (as done in the patch) is dangerous, because any "|" in
the URL would make vim
execute another command. Both issues would be avoided if autocommands
were calling
a function and passing it a string. Just my 2 cents. Cheers,
Pavol
