...and don't forget that URL's ENcoding and DEcoding deals with other 
characters too (not merely the non-printable ones), for example the "%" 
itself should be encoded, and probably others (I don't have the specs at 
hands). The correct ENcoding of " % " (blank-percent-blank) is 
"%20%25%20", *not* "%20%%20"...
