Description Slava 2012-09-20 08:00:38 UTC 
When URL has * then sed -e 's*%[fFuU]*"'"$arg_one"'"*g' will fail.

* in URL must be escaped.

My solution add * for escaping in arg_one.

arg_one ="`echo $arg | sed 's/[&*]/\\\\&/g'`".

Example of that URL is from yandex XMPP notification:

I just checked and current code base already includes:

arg_one="`echo "$arg" | sed 's/[&*\\]/\\\\&/g'`"

So I think we're good here now.
