> If URLCodec.decode() is called with a String that contains unencoded characters
> in the 128-255 range, these characters are corrupted. The reason for this is in
> the way characters that don't need decoding are passed from the source to the
> target string:
>             int b = bytes[i];
>             
>             (...)
>      
>             buffer.write(b);
> If a character code is > 127, it results in integer b being in the -128..-1
> range, and when it's lowest byte is written to the buffer it's something else
> than the original one. 
> I think the fix would be to add 256 to b if b is less than zero.
