test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
WIP: Work in progress, a temporary label for incomplete or ongoing work
In my case, and I would think a lot of other folks, want to use a RAG to container their organizations Wiki documents, policies and other items. The current RAG API uses the file name as the document name (Though personally I think this should be able to be overwritten in the API as an optional field).
Ultimately, when the RAG returns a hit, the documentation location should not be a link to download the file, but a URL to the original document.
AS an example, I use the Confluence API to return the HTML bodies of every article in a space. I can then convert the HTML to raw text, and then upload to the RAG. But I want the to have a nice URL as a link in the open-webui chat GUI. However we run into an issue when we try to do this... a filename cannot container several of the characters found in a URL.
To overcome this, I have found that URL Encoding (Or percent encoding) is the easiest way to do this. Windows, linux and Macs can both save files using URLEncoded names. However this looks UGLY on the webgui side:
So by using the decodeURIcomponent javascript function, we can convert these display names. (However the original document names will remain the URL encoded values.)
Ultimately we have a nice clickable link!
If a filename does not container any sort of URLEncoded variables, the original string will be returned by this function.
Added the javascript function decodeURIcomponent to a handful of places.

This could also be used if someone wanted an `FTP://` link, or others:

This would also solved that issue.
