That's not the general solution. Doubling a % is what you need to do to
get the Windows command processor avoid treating it as a positional parameter.
The general solution is to URL-escape problematic characters by replacing
them with % and the hex value (e.g. %25) as described. You still need to
double up the % on Windows (e.g. %%25). I'm not aware of @ being special
in the same way on Windows (but it is special in the URL).
