URL Encoding Bugs when dealing with already encoded URLs

[tedivm]

Plotly seems to be doing some weird things with character encoding that results in unexpected behavior.

Take the URL /projects/Project #1 as an example. The only way to use that character in a URL is to escape it, turning it into /projects/Project %231- or, if we're encoding everything, /projects/Project%20%231.

Unfortunately when presented with that URL Plotly decides to encode the center % sign (but only that one, it ignores the %20), turning it into /projects/Project%20%25231

This makes it impossible to actually use the # sign in URLs related to Plotly.

Codepen Example

Ideally there would be an option for Plotly to take the URL as is.

Thanks for the report!

Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
