As far as I know, %-encoding is not valid for hostnames, so I think this is INVALID.

Indeed, RFC 2396 forbids percent-encoding in hostnames.

(In reply to comment #2) > Indeed, RFC 2396 forbids percent-encoding in hostnames. > So, should we do anything about the status bar? Thanks.

if an app shows the wrong thing in the status bar, it earns a bug. i filed 3 :).

sorry, you guys are wrong. RFC 3986 obsoletes 2396 and allows escaped hostnames. furthermore, this is a duplicate.
