Unable to use "%" symbol in request and responce data

[asfimport]

Nikita (Bug 52896):
There is an error in gui when try to use symbol "%" in request or when it exists in responce data

E.g. if request POST data has to have string like "%AO2012" JMeter report an error in GUI and post an exception into log (stack_trace.txt)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add HTTP request
2. Switch to RAW data
3. Input string like "2004016611|AOconnectRequest:AHconnect:ASDateTimeFormatInfo:ALCurrentDate%AO20120313150624#" (this is a part of GWT request to server)
4. Save

Created attachment stack_trace.txt: "%" symol usage parcing error
