[tdf-discuss] Re: [libreoffice-users] [4.0.3.3 non fixed bug] Link with a space Pdf export error (%20 characters - space ones - exported as %2520 ones)

Hi :)
%25 is the code for a % symbol so the 'wrong' link is not really wrong after all.  It's just a bit 
odd and unnecessary.  In the 'wrong' link replace all the %25s with % so that %2520 becomes %20 and 
then the apparently 'wrong' link looks right.  It's a good reason for avoiding spaces and 
non-standard characters in Urls.  CamelCase is much less prone to these sorts of problems.  

Seems a few other organisations are having trouble with %25 replacing %
