Re: Why redirects to foo.com/?next=/some/folder show up as foo.com/?next=%2Fsome%2Ffolder in browser? (i.e. how remove the %2F's? )

URLs have different parts or components. The different parts use different escaping rules.

foo.com/?next=/some/folder

foo.com: uses DNS escaping rules

/: uses path escaping rules, which allows / as a path separator

next=%2Fsome%2Ffolder: uses query parameter escaping rules, which does not allow "/"

Stuff after a "?" but before a "#" are query parameters, and it follows different escaping rules than the path part.

Because the slashes are escaped, this is normal as they are a parameter and not part of the path itself.

Why URLs created by Django show /'s instead of %2F's?  The Django code knows how to

fix the appearance?!

The escaped version only appears on handmade URLs created in a view and used

for a redirect?  Somehow I'm omitting some magic Django code uses.
