7844	WP sends url-encoded text in pingback/trackback	reinkim	anonymous	"From [9012], WP sends trackback/pingback using urlencoded text.

[9012] introduces HTTP api to send trackback/pingback. But in this changeset, WP sends blog-title, uri and excerpt in url-encoded format. 
So pinged/trackbacked blog displays some strangely formatted trackback like,

{{{
blog+title // title
http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org%2F111 // uri
blah+blah+blah+%23%21%40%23%24 // excerpt
}}}

This behavior is caused by passing arguments of HTTP api in urlencoded text. (wp-includes/comment.php:1312)

To fix this problem, I've patched current working version of trunk like following diff.
