Hi,

the attached patch changes org-open-at-point in org.el:

Currently, when opening an url the function org-open-at-point uses the 
variable path, which is the result of applying org-link-unescape on the 
original url. Thus, all special chars like '() "' etc. which were 
originally encoded like %20%28 etc. are reverted to their clear text 
form. This worked for me in most cases, but gives me errors when my url 
contains encoded chars like '()', i.e. %28%29.

The submitted patch fixes this by simply using the original url with all 
special chars still encoded.

Please consider applying it, if fit.


Thanks,
Marc
