Could you add a test for this scenario, so we don't break it again in the future?

Answer 2 · 2010-09-17T09:23:02.000Z

Nevermind, I'm working on a better fix that also takes into account other special characters. Thanks for pointing this out!

Answer 3 · 2010-09-17T15:26:01.000Z

Thanks for doing that. I was pretty sure that there were other special characters affected, but the hangup our app had was with spaces in the url.

Added better handling of spaces and other special characters in URLs in http://github.com/ariejan/firefly/commit/6cbc3a49e53379f75937f350f2c727f1e2b67c67

Sorry to comment on such an old issue, but I just experienced this with v1.3.0 when shortening an url with the %20 already in it (f.e. when using the bookmarklet after loading an url with a space in it)
Firefly converts %20 to %2520 and therefore redirects to a non-existent URL.
