Bug#586963: twinkle: 'Z' should not be escaped in URLs

Package: twinkle
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

There are typos in the list of unescaped characters in user, password and headers of URIs.

"...XYX..."

should be

"...XYZ..."

The result is, 'Z' characters are converted to %5a in the user part or URIs. This can lead to failed calls. If for example a Record-Route header contains a 'Z', then Twinkle will replace this 'Z' with %5a in the Route header it inserts into dialog requests. This might be a problem for the SIP proxy which inserted the Record-Route header and may not recognize its URI in the Route header.

Thanks to Mikael Magnusson for the original report and patch in Ubuntu (LP: #521161)
