Description

Repro:

• Download files thru either FileTransfer.download or jQuery.ajax, with Unicode characters in the URL
  • e.g. $.ajax('http://dummy.org/中文名.txt');

Expect:

• It will download http://dummy.org/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E5%90%8D.txt

Actual:

• It downloads http://dummy.org/%C3%A4%C2%B8%C2%AD%C3%A6%E2%80%93%E2%80%A1%C3%A5%C2%90%C2%8D.txt

I tested it on Mobile Safari and the URL encoding done is correct.
