[Building Sakai] entity feeds: url parsing issue

[Aaron Zeckoski]

I would have to double check to be sure but I think this simply uses
the java URLDecoder class. Maybe there is something in it which does
not properly parse the URLs or maybe there is a worse issue. You can
check the TemplateParseUtil if you want. That is where the code is.
