URLField fails validation for a valid URL

Description

The URLField seems to fails validation when it tries to match the following URL:

​http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=15&awinaffid=81443&clickref=trueblood&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdwow.com%2FDVD%2Ftrue-blood-series-2%2Fdp%2F8756093%23bc%3Dfbb6

This is an affiliate link that was automatically generated. The problem seems to be occurring when the regular expression matches the second domain i.e. www.cdwow.com%2FDVD
Basically the regex thinks that the second domain shouldn't have a '%' after it so fails.

Can you confirm that this is correct with you?

Thanks
Ben...

Works for me.

>>> class MyForm(forms.Form):
...     url = forms.URLField()

>>> data = {'url': 'http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=15&awinaffid=81443&clickref=trueblood&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdwow.com%2FDVD%2Ftrue-blood-series-2%2Fdp%2F8756093%23bc%3Dfbb6'}
>>> f = MyForm(data=data)
>>> print f.is_valid()
True
>>> print f.cleaned_data['url']
