REST API treats URL encoded forward slash as a slash

[Michał Karnicki]

If the filename contains URL encoded forward slash %2F

Result:
The server decodes that as a slash and instead of foo%2Fbar.png you'll get a folder foo and a file bar.png in it.

Expected behaviour:
Create file foo%2Fbar.png

Changing status to Confirmed, server is OOPSing on such filenames, google map icons for instance. I'll probably fix this on the client side replacing % with _, but that's just temporary fix, it's not the client fault that a filename may contain URL encoded characters. Stuart Langridge said it's clearly a bug.
