The web server does not properly decode a parameter

[Dae]

I'm exploring the HTTP server of VLC.

The documentation states:

All parameters need to be URL encoded

But when I set a GET request to:

Code: Select all

http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&input=%2FUsers%2Fdae%2FDesktop%2Fvideos%2F

...and it results in:


Non-urlencoded path works fine:

Code: Select all

http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/status.xml?command=in_play&input=/Users/dae/Desktop/videos/

What am I doing wrong?
