character ommitted in filenames (apostrophe: ') when adding from library

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Rename a working file i.e. "test.avi" to contain an apostrophe ('), i.e. 
"z's_test.avi" 
2. Add file via Library to playlist
3. attempt to play file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: file should be played
instead: file is not found by VLC Player itself reporting: 
"File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "Z:\z's_test.avi"."

and 

"Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///Z%3A%5Czs_test.avi'. Check the log for 
details."
side note: I could not find any appropriate log file.

The problem appears to be that the apostrophe within the file name is being 
omitted when transmitting the URL to VLC. 

This might also effect other characters. 
However I have not found any yet. Other special characters like brackets appear 
to be working fine. 

What version of VLC Remote are you using?
0.5.3

What version of VLC are you using?
1.1.11

What version of Android are you using?
2.3.3

Which Android device are you using?
HTC Desire HD

Please provide any additional information below.
VLC is running on Windows 7 x64
Filesystem: NTFS

This also seems to affect things if there's an apostrophe anywhere in the path 
(i.e. c:\media\joe's stuff\test.avi will have the same issue).

i went to the link you provided but i see no explanation on why this issue is 
not a client bug which could be fixed rather easily with some re-coding.  I see 
you've marked the status as "won't fix" but that just means it will remain 
broken for users (like me) who enable simple HTTP mode from within the VLC gui, 
which works in all cases I've found except when there's an apostrophe in the 
path/filename.  ?

I read that luahttp will be the default (and only) option in VLC 1.2

I have not validated this solution but it seems that there is a clone which has 
this problem fixed:

And to be quite frank, to me this is a client issue and the fix looks valid by 
just looking at the code changes.
