URIError: URI malformed

OS: MacOS 12.4 markdown-link-check: 3.10.0 node: v16.15.1

I'm getting the following error with no indication where the issue is:

$ markdown-link-check -v -p ./docs/foo.md

As a user, I would like to know what line in the source it was failing on.

I modified .../node_modules/markdown-link-check/node_modules/link-check/lib/proto/http.js to print out URLs just before it hit the error at this is what it showed

        const url = encodeURI(decodeURIComponent(new URL(link, opts.baseUrl).toString()));

In this case, the error is caused by a bare '%' sign which should be %25 for a percent sign.

FWIW what I changed was (crudely) adding the console.log() line immediately before the line that got the error:

        console.log(link)
        const url = encodeURI(decodeURIComponent(new URL(link, opts.baseUrl).toString()));
