=begin
i tried this snippet of code

require 'uri'
URI.parse('http://192.168.0.88:8080/mondrian/mdxquery?queryString=select%0D%0A++{[Measures].[Score]%2C+[Measures].[Happy+Count]}+on+columns%2C%0D%0A++NON+EMPTY+[Time].[Month].MEMBERS+on+rows%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++[FeelingsSummary]%0D%0Awhere%0D%0A++([UserId].[222]%2C+[TimeSlicer].[2008])')

i don't know why it fails
although this url is a working one. i tried it on my browser and works fine
Also tried it on mechanize and worked

the exception was that one

from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:436:in split' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:485:in parse'
from (irb):7

i think this is a bug

=begin
[ ] are at least a problem. i ran into this a little while ago

according to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt, [ ] are used to define
an ipv6 address and are thus reserved. and as the rfc shows, they where
originally part of the 'unwise' set of characters that are supposed to be
always encoded so as to not cause problems (with gateways and other broken
things)

try encoding [ ] (%5B and %5D) to see if it fixes the problem. ( ) might be
too, but that's just a guess. i'm too lazy to recheck :)

[] is not allowed for URI.
escape them.
