[jcifs] URL Decoding Enabled

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Gut reaction is that the escape handling should be done after the URL has 
been completely parsed, and then the individual parts should be re-escaped 
before building the URL back from the parts.

Looks as though there's a bit of the message missing, yes?
