what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See

* Title
Double slash in body text not captured in Org Protocol URL
* Description
The presence of the '/' character in query parameter ~body~ for
~org-protocol://~ is not handled correctly.
Arguably, the '/' has no reserved purpose in the ~body~ parameter so should
require no percent encoding.
* Steps to Reproduce
1. Have Org Protocol setup in Emacs, with ~org-protocol-default-template-key~
defined to a template that processes the ~body~ parameter (%i).
2. Invoke the following Org Protocol request via ~emacsclient~:
#+begin_src shell
emacsclient "org-protocol://capture?body=org-protocol://"
#+end_src
* Expected Result
Double slashes in ~body~ should be preserved in the resulting Org Capture
window.
* Actual Result
Only one slash appears in the resulting Org Capture window.
* Observation
A un-recommended workaround is to percent encode '/' to %2F. However, this is
arduous as different platform APIs (Python, Cocoa) when percent encoding URL
query parameters will treat '/' as having no reserved purpose; they will /not/
percent encode '/'.
