Summary: Add custom URI decoding support?

Initial Comment:
URI "permutations" like "xss", "x%73s", "xs%73", "x%73%73", are so annoying. They are tricky.

Some websites use UTF-8 encoding, and some use GBK(China).
Any idea?

Message:
I meant that if we can use custom encoding/decoding method for URLs,
because of some URLs use non-utf-8 escaped strings for non-ASCII
characters.

But now I think most websites use utf-8 encoding, so it may not be worth
adding this feature.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately it's not entirely clear to me what this feature request is
about.

The fast-redirects{} action can indeed already decode URLs, but this is
unrelated to the encoding used on the website.

Sorry, It seems that the url is auto-decoded in utf-8 encoding.
