Link doesn't open in latest Evernote version

[maxxyme 0]

Hi,

I just update Evernote this morning to new 6.2.4.3244 (303244) Public version.

And I'm having trouble opening an external link I have copy-pasted in a note:

http://www.celio.com/CELIO_ALL/03-05-BERMUDA/DENIM-BERMUDA/short-denim-bermuda/Short-regular-délavé-100%-coton/p/1030874

Other similar link does not have the problem:

http://www.celio.com/CELIO_ALL/03-05-BERMUDA/DENIM-BERMUDA/short-denim-bermuda/Bermuda-regular-effet-usé-coton/p/1030878

Note: I do not remember having the problem before updating.
I suspect this is related to some UTF8 encoding for the French accentuated character "é" but as you can see the 2nd link has 1 too and it opens fine.

Thanks for letting us know about this. It's actually the % symbol in the first link that's leading us astray. We'll work on addressing that for our next release.

Thanks Emerick for answering so quickly.

This issue appears when the link contains a French accentuated character (é, etc)

Well, according to emerick, it's rather the % character that messes with the Unicode-encoding of the special (French) characters... (like here on this forum, % being converted to the unexpected sequence %25 ?!)

Problem still there with 6.3.3

The following link works :  file:///C:\Test\fichier test.txt

This one doesn't work :  file:///C:\Test\fichier testé.txt

The problem still exists in the most current release, but the original report is somewhat flawed.

This link exists in an Outlook email: http://bw.healthcarerealty.com/Projects/Operations/BrightWork Pages/Work - Due Soon.aspx 

But after pressing the "Save to Evernote" button the link becomes: http://bw.healthcarerealty.com/Projects/Operations/BrightWork%20Pages/Work%20-%20Due%20Soon.aspx 

If you look at the uninterpreted link you would see that the original has '%20' inserted for each blank while the Evernote link changes this to '%2520'. Clicking on the Evernote link results in a rather nasty server error - something about the syntax not being correct.

So this is what needs to be corrected.
