Description

e.g. in the case of
brechtdeman.com/listeningtest/index.html?url=tests/A.xml

when sent through Facebook, for instance, the forward slash in the url argument becomes the hex code %2F, after which the test can't be opened (and index.html is simply loaded).

Can this be 'caught', i.e. can %2F be parsed back to a forward slash? The alternative is to keep all XML files at top level, which isn't pretty or desirable.

we should always encodeURIComponent() the url, and decodeURIComponent() it before using it.
Note that this way links in the current format will keep working.
