Exactly; and that's what urllib.parse.quote() does.

They're not...  what you quoted refers to encoding... 

What I'm talking about is how CM treats the received/encoded string...  

CM treats http://  as a clickable link; but  http%3A//  and
http%3A%2F%2F  are not treated as the valid "escaped" links they are by
CM, as seen in my previous message you redacted...
