Describe the bug

Variable paths are not working when they have been altered with html encoding during request process. ie - /path/this is a test => /path/this%20is%20a%20test variable path = this%20is%20a%20test

Expected behavior

/path/this is a test => /path/this%20is%20a%20test variable path = this is a test

Please note, this is available within Flask to remove the html encoding

Thanks @BSd3v, it would be good to handle encoded urls. In the meantime, a workaround is to use unquote from urllib.parse library.

Here's and example https://github.com/AnnMarieW/dash-multi-page-app-demos/blob/main/multi_page_update_url_in_callback/pages/stocks.py

@BSd3v is this still a concern?

[BSd3v]

Yes, this is still an issue as of 2.17.1.
