Purge files with delimiters in object key fails

Description (last modified by dkocher)

If you have containers more than 2 levels deep in Rackspace cloud files, the URL in the DELETE request for invalidating the CDN's object is improperly formatted. The /s are escaped as %2F. To recreate the problem. Run CD, login to rackspace, create an image or file thats several 'folders' deep, then attempt to invalidate the CDN's cache. It will throw exception. Take a look at the request's URL -- its escaped improperly for "/"'s... We were able to successfully formulate a request by manually reformatting the improperly escaped character.

I think this is a bug with Rackspace. The API should accept a key that is fully URI encoded. I will discuss this with Rackspace.

I suppose the issue will be fixed by Rackspace. Currently purging fails for any object key.
