KUrl behavior.

[Leonardo Stern]

In kdecore/kurl.h , I found the following statement :

 * The constructor KUrl(const QString&) expects a string properly escaped,
 * or at least non-ambiguous.
 * If you have the absolute path you should use KUrl::fromPath(const QString&).
 * \code
 *     KUrl kurl = KUrl::fromPath("/bar/#foo#");
 *     QString url = kurl.url();    // -> "file:///bar/%23foo%23"
 * \endcode
 *
 * If you have the URL of a local file or directory and need the absolute path,
 * you would use path().
 * \code
 *    KUrl url( "file:///bar/%23foo%23" );
 *    ...
 *    if ( url.isLocalFile() )
 *       QString path = url.path();       // -> "/bar/#foo#"
 * \endcode

So if I have KUrl kurl(""file:///home/dfaure/my#%2f""), I should expect :

kurl.url() == "file:///home/dfaure/my%23%2f"
kurl.path() == "file:///home/dfaure/my#/"  ?

In "kdecore/tests/kurltest.cpp" I found the following testcase  (line 228):

/*  KUrl url1; QString u1 */
  u1 = "file:///home/dfaure/my#%2f";
  url1 = u1;
  // KDE3: was %2f, but this is OK too
  QCOMPARE( url1.url(), QString("file:///home/dfaure/my#/") );

but url1.url() returns "file:///home/dfaure/my%23/"

I would expect "file:///home/dfaure/my%23%2f" as described in kurl.h
instead of "file:///home/dfaure/my#/" or "file:///home/dfaure/my%23/".

 I'm missing something ?
