#16070 closed Bug (duplicate)

Urlize improperly quotes %

Description

If urlize is given a URL with a percent sign in it, it will quote it:

from django.utils.html import urlize
urlize('​http://www.example.com/test%20case')

u'<a href="​http://www.example.com/test%2520case">​http://www.example.com/test%20case</a>'

Which breaks links that are already percent sign quoted. Should % be passed in to urlquote as a safe character to prevent this? Or should it be an option? I am using urlize on user generated input, and links they insert with %'s in them are broken.
