AFAIK those codes are part of the url spec. Any server/client/program
that handles http must know about % codes. And given that ascii was
the basis for character<->hex mappings back then, one can reasonably
assume the server must understand that %2c == ",".
>>http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_Recommentations.html#z1
The last section deals with prohibited characters. All prohibited
characters 'shall' be encoded in the % form. Other characters may be
if one so chooses.
>>http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5_BNF.html#z73
Defines what is/isn't allowed in a URL.
