If the file URL contains percent encoding then the percent encodings are re-encoded, as we treat the already encoded string as a path, so NSURL re-encodes it. We can assume that if the string begins file:// that it is a legal file URL, in which case we can simply use [NSURL URLWithString].

@EddyVerbruggen this is still an issue in the plugin. It would be wonderful to resolve it. This currently means the plugin doesn't work if a file URL is supplied that contains % encoding.

If there are concerns about backwards compatibility due to JavaScript code creating invalid file:// URLs, then we could check to see if a file exists either way and use the form that exists?
