           Summary: okular does not handle escaped URL correctly
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mefoster at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

(I originally reported this issue upstream at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519008 -- as requested, I'm now
filing it here.)

If I open a PDF file with spaces in the file name through Firefox, it downloads
successfully, but Okular claims not to be able to open it. This seems to be
because the file has a name like "file with spaces.pdf", but Okular wants to
open "file%20with%20spaces.pdf". Here's a 100% reproduceable test case:
    http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mef/file%20with%20spaces.pdf

[From another comment on the upstream bug]
Looks like the wrong method of KUrl or QUrl is being used (the method which
just throws away the file:// instead of the one which converts to a file name
properly).
