PEP 3333: URL-decoding and routing

There have been several discussions over the years about how WSGI frameworks apply routing in the case of URL-encoded path components. Here's a comment that links to a few of the discussions:

https://github.com/encode/starlette/pull/1828#issuecomment-1434043248

The issue is that when using routing features, the URL /user/foo/edit appears to be indistinguishable from /user/foo%2Fedit, and in case of routing rules for /user/{username} and /user/{username}/edit, the URL /user/foo%2Fedit will match the second rule and not the first.

This seems to me to be in conflict with RFC 3986 section 2.4 and RFC 3986 section 2.2. The latter states:

URIs that differ in the replacement of a reserved character with its corresponding percent-encoded octet are not equivalent.

But the routing mechanism in popular WSGI frameworks such as Flask and FastAPI are unable to differentiate the mentioned URLs, because the URI's percent-encoding is decoded before the routing happens.

I believe PEP-3333 needs to clarify the correct behaviour.

首先阅读 PEP 3333 和链接的 Starlette 讨论，然后将其中描述的路由行为与 RFC 3986 第 2.2 和 2.4 节进行比较。当项目就应如何处理百分号编码的路径组件达成明确共识后，工作即告完成。
