 Replying to [comment:2 smaffulli]:
 > What I noticed is that when I copy from the browser into the form user-
 edit.php, the characters show up (correctly) as percent-encoded. When I
 save the form, the form shows `https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-
 rsner-83736/` which is obviously a 404. It looks to me like the form
 'sanitizes' the encoded character.

 Thanks for clarifying, it makes more sense now :)

 However, I could not reproduce the issue with the Website field from user
 profile. That LinkedIn URL is saved as expected for me, both the encoded
 and human-readable form.

 Do you experience this issue with the default Website field, or some other
 custom field?
