Re: URL paths with %2F in them

Incidentally, I'm temporarily working around this with this small  
patch to ocamlnet: http://tinyurl.com/dm8rvt
...and doing:

     let u = Nethttp.uripath_decode (cgi#url ()) in
     let url = Neturl.parse_url u in

so that the %2Fs are intercepted before the URL is parsed.  Not sure  
what other side-effects this might have though.
