#15769: Incorrect URL/URI Parsing with encoded characters
--------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Reporter:  FatButtLarry  |      Owner:
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
Milestone:                |  Component:  libpurple
  Version:  2.10.7        |   Keywords:  uri, url, xmpp, hyperlink
--------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Here is the example I'm trying:


 {{{
 xmpp:mybuddy at mydomain?message;body=Hello%20World
 }}}


 I expect to see in the conversation window:

 {{{
 Hello World
 }}}


 But instead I see

 {{{
 Hello%20World
 }}}


 I'm not the first to report this.  Here's a quote from Daniel Atallah
 (2012) confirming the issue taken from the
 [http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2012-August/025695.html the mailing
 list (2012)]:


   //"I can recreate this; it seems libpurple should be unescaping the
 parameter, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I guess the thing to do
 is to file a ticket - if it has a good patch attached to it, I'll be happy
 to commit it. :)"//

   //"The one part that isn't entirely clear to me is whether this should
 be done for all protocols or just XMPP - I'm guessing it probably should
 be done for everything." -Daniel Atallah//
