> OK, the reason SoupRequester needed a special case to get file URIs working right was because there was already an incorrect special case for file URIs in ResourceHandleSoup::startGio() that was messing the URL up before it got to SoupRequester. So this patch removes both special cases (I didn't bother attaching it in the form of a git commit since it actually needs to be split between both of Sergio's existing patches.).

Thank you! Sergio will just need to merge these fixes into his patches before the final r+.

> Additionally, to deal with the problem the startGio() hack was originally attempting to work around, we need to make soup_uri_decode() accept badly-%-encoded URIs rather than returning NULL (which is something we'd already discussed in gnomebug 523100 anyway). There is now a patch for that in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630540 but it's not yet committed because we're in hard code freeze for 2.32.

So, if I understand correctly, to avoid a regression we'll either need to:
1. Re-implement this logic in WebKit GTK+ for older soup versions.
2. Wait to land this until you release a new version of soup with this fix and then depend on that.
