#9226: WEBDAV with SAP not possible due to encoding issues

    Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:
   Component:  core         |    Version:  4.7.3

----------------------------+-----------------------
 SAP offers WEBDAV access to it's servers but the URLs are a bit special.
 They include brackets "(" and "=" as in the following example:
 http://mysapserver/sap(Yz0wMDEmbD1lbg==)/bc/bsp_dev/sap/decode_url

 Unfortunately, Cyberduck encodes such URLs as:
 http://mysapserver/sap%28Yz0wMDEmbD1lbg%3D%3D%29/bc/bsp_dev/sap/decode_url/

 Which results in WEBDAV failing as SAP does not expect/support this.

 We have verified it in Fiddler by changing the Cyberduck request and when
 the brackets are included unencoded everything works fine.

 I guess one could debate the RFC* but it would be nice to include an
 option that Cyberduck does not encode such characters in URLs.
