I made r11378 to fix it, please test it again I removed parenthesis per http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt which has considered "\)" as a unreserved character \(means using "\)" at end of the URL causes no harm and It's possible\) but maybe I'm wrong which means we should do another way \(percent-encoding urls before sending it this URL compiler\)
