Hello all!

Subj, more details here - https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/issues/10400

post a feed that has this problem going on. that way it can be sent to the devs and fixed.

In the web standards, URLs with raw un-encoded Unicode are malformed, and not valid URLs, although most web browsers will accept them and clean them.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding


The software that you copied the URL from should have encoded it before it goes on the clipboard, so there's probably a bug there.  If you paste the URL into a web browser, and then re-copy it, you will see that it cleans up the encoding and makes it a valid URL.  But the URL should be like that from the original source.

We'll put a work-around in the next release (v2.78) to check for bad characters in the URL and clean up the encoding, like many www browsers do.  That should fix this problem regardless of the source.

This has been fixed for version 2.78.  There is now a full URL sanitizer in-place to deal with any malformed or mis-encoded URLs.
