Percent-encoded domains not handled.

[Lee]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

RFC 3986 indicates that percent-encoded characters are permissible in domain names, but an example such as http://google.co%6D gives an error even though the correct, decoded value (http://google.com) appears in the location bar. 'Try again' doesn't work, but pressing Enter in the location field does. (Note: IE6 and Opera do handle such addresses).

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
