I agree. Since there is no such thing as a "decoded URI" in the real
world, any API which deals in URIs should deal in encoded URIs. So the
right answer is to treat this as a bug in ra_local and fix it.
(We can pretty much get away with having "decoded URIs" for short
periods of time in our internal processing, since we do not expect to
find special URI characters before the pathname part, with the possible
exception of the username in scheme://username@host/path. But it would
be gravely inelegant to pass around such things between libraries.)
