Photon: issues with double encoding

[jeherve]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack, Boost

Quick summary

Following #39560, some images cannot be displayed properly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start with a site running Photon.
2. Go to Posts > Add New
3. Add an image block
4. Pick the "insert via URL" option
5. Insert an image with a space in the file name, converted into %20
6. Publish your post.

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I would expect the image to be displayed in the post.

What actually happened

It isn't. %20 is turned into %2520.

Impact

Some (< 50%)

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

Right now, the workaround would be to not insert any images with spaces in the filename. That is something WordPress solves when you upload to the media library for example.

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

Atomic, Self-hosted
