Tests
Variants of the following code (runs in Live DOM Viewer) are useful to test which code points are URL escaped in browsers:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script>
var a = document.createElement("a")
i = 0
cp = 0x100
while ( i < cp ) {
a.href = "http://x" + String.fromCharCode(i) + "@x/"
if(a.href.length != "http://x)@x/".length) {
w(a.href)
}
i++
}
</script>
