URL redirection not working properly with Gmail and Youtube?

See original GitHub issue

Expected behavior

When clicking on a youtube link from Gmail (from an upload notification) the youtube page should load properly

Actual behavior

When clicking on a youtube link from Gmail (from an upload notification) you end up with a 404 Not Found

Steps to reproduce the problem

*Go to Gmail *Click on an upload notification mail and open the video from the link *You get an 404 Not Found error

This seems to be cause by URLs not being decoded properly? The target url contains text with %3D ( =-sign) and and it seems to be double escaping characters with %253F (?-sign)

Can someone confirm this issue for me. It just might be on my end. Disabling the Google filter solves the issues for me tho.

Even this link gave issues, it should redirect to the comment from @Atavic

Expected URL https://github.com/tumpio/requestcontrol/issues/39#issuecomment-320343846 Actual URL https://github.com/tumpio/requestcontrol/issues/39%23issuecomment-320343846
