Fix escaping of URL #37

Closed filmenczer closed 5 years ago

filmenczer commented 5 years ago

Mercury fails if URL includes regexp characters, as in this example:

https://www.dcclothesline.com/2019/05/01/illinois-democrat-castrate-men-to-end-abortion-tax-them-to-store-sperm/****TRUMP/

This is done. We escape the characters and set '/:?=&' as valid characters.
