           Summary: [Qt] QtWebKit does not properly handle D&D of a
                    precent encoded URL...
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: adawit at kde.org


When a percent encoded URL is dragged and dropped into QtWebKit (read: QWebView), the QNetworkRequest that is generated will contain an invalid URL. That is because the URL is not properly encoded before being used to create the request. To test, open the test case attached in QtTestBrowser and drag "drag me" link to a second instance of QtTestBrowser.

I believe this bug is caused by the fact that the dragged URL is passed in unencoded format (QUrl::fromEncoded), but the attempt re-encode in QtWebKit's implementation of DragData::asURL in WebCore/platform/qt/DragDataQt.cpp does not seem to do the job properly. In fact to me the call to encodeWithURLEscapeSequences with the string representation of of the URL seems totally wrong to me since the characters allowed within a URL vary based in each of its separate components (scheme, authority, path, query etc...).
