% in url parameter causes "Uncaught URIError: URI malformed"

[nodabladam]

Bug report

Hitting a next.js site with a query string parameter containing a percent sign causes consumer to experience a plain white screen.

To Reproduce

Hit a next.js site with a query parameter containing a percent sign:
https://vercel.com/?q=%

Expected behavior

Page still renders fine and perhaps console logs that a query parameter had a URI malformed issue.

Additional context

Content is currently coming in with a raw percent on utm_content and that is out of my immediate control to change:

http://localhost:3000/?utm_content=Lookalike%201%%20-%20Ages%2035-54%20-%20USA_Product%20Focus%20-%20Conversion%20-%20Laptop%20V1_23844117712240465

The URLs are auto generated by facebook ads manager. I guess they are not properly encoding their utm_content value? If I decode the value to Lookalike 1% - Ages 35-54 - USA_Product Focus - Conversion - Laptop V1_23844117712240465 and re-encode, it works.

Hello,
we're facing the same issue with urls containing arabic letters. Any workarounds?
many URIError: URI malformed errors!

Hi, I have a similar problem, but I am trying to put a percent sign value on a URL segment as some id for dynamic routing. Regardless of whether I am encoding a percent sign or not. If I pass it to router.push in "asPath" as part of the segment URL the same error (URIError: URI malformed) occurs.
Thanks for any help regarding this.

We have the same problem. Looks like function "parse" in router.ts decoded parameter, and further in "getRoterMatcher"(file route-matcher.ts ) pathname decodes again, and this throws error.
