The web project has a cookie and it contain '%' , i use the cookie in server .but the web show me the bug.
i try to delete this cookie,and it work well.
here is the log.

URIError: URI malformed

It seems that the cookie contain '%' will cause error,is it an bug?
[ AngularJS v1.3.0-rc.3 ]

update:
it seems angularjs use 'decodeURIComponent' to decode parameter ,but 'escape' encode parameter cannot be decode,and will cause bug.

@Narretz
Hi,i test the latest version, 1.4.7 , the bug was fixed.

According to the spec, % has a special meaning in URLs and is used for escaping (e.g. %<hex><hex>).
If they are used incorrectly in URLs, then is it expected that the native decodeURIComponent() (which Angular relies on) will throw an error. If you want a % to appear in the URL, you need to encode it.

@hamzazaidi , if you still believe that this is a bug in Angular, please open a new issue providing the necessary details to reproduce the problem (ideally a runnable demo, using CodePen, Plnkr etc).

Hi,
there have many methods to avoid the %.
use ajax to refresh page replace use % in url , or you can use escape/encodeURIComponent/encodeURI to encode the url.
The problem is if you use escape, you need use unescape to decode it.

escape -> unescape
encodeURI -> decodeURI
encodeURIComponent -> decodeURIComponent

Try to use another method to decode/encode string.
