http interface cannot play mrl with # in the path

[davdat]

I am testing out the http interface for the current version of vlc.

It just so happens that I keep my music by artist in a tree where the first branch point is the first letter of the artist name. All artists that start with numbers are in the folder "#". When I add a track from one of these artists in the mrl, vlc tries to find all of my music and add it to the current playlist.

It doesn't matter if I send the # as raw text or as %23. It seems that the parser is truncating the mrl at the # character after decoding the http encoding in the name.

Is there a way I can specify in the playlist_add that these are explicit filenames and they should not be expanded?

I don't think you can. http code should be fixed, I guess.
