URL decoding
URL decoding is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
The task is to provide a function or mechanism to convert a url encoded string into its original unencoded form.
This task is the reverse of URL decoding.
Example
The encoded string "http%3A%2F%2Ffoo%20bar%2F
" should be reverted to the unencoded form "http://foo bar/
"
