"Error adding link" when attempting to post a page

[aecreations]

Sometimes, the following error occurs when posting a web page. This is occurring with Delicious Post 1.5 on Firefox 28.

Error message: "Failed to post to Delicious: error adding link"

I can reliably reproduce this issue from these URLs:

The fix addresses the issue by double-encoding the special characters in the title and description of the bookmark, adapted from a fix for a similar issue with a Delicious extension for Chrome (see the above commit).

However, this doesn't fix everything. Some symbols, like the em dash and chevrons, don't show up properly when the user later views the URL he posted on his own Delicious page, because they aren't decoded properly by Delicious. To address this, I've replaced commonly-used special characters with "safe" characters; e.g. the em dash becomes a double hyphen ("--").

Fixed in Delicious Post 1.5.1.

I'm still seeing this as of v 1.6.1 and FF 38.0.5 while I am logged in delicious.com (WRT cookies).
I confirm that the links are correctly added to my delicious account.
