 <c>url() = string()</c> syntax according to the URI definition in
- <url href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt">RFC 2396</url>, 
+ <url href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url>,
 for example <c>"http://www.erlang.org"</c>
+ <warning>Please note that httpc normalizes input URIs before internal processing
+ and special care shall be taken when the URI has percent ("%") characters. A percent
+ serves as the indicator for percent-encoded octets and it must be percent-encoded
+ as "%25" for that octet to be used as data within the URI.
+ For example, in order to send an HTTP GET request with the URI
+ <c>http://localhost/foo%25bar</c>, the percent character must be percent-encoded when
+ creating the request: <c>httpc:request("http://localhost/foo%2525bar").</c>
+ </warning>
 <c>status_line() = {http_version(), status_code(), reason_phrase()}</c>
 <c>http_version() = string()</c>, for example, <c>"HTTP/1.1"</c>
 <c>status_code() = integer()</c>
