I've just had quite a bit of trouble setting up org capture protocol
handling with the Chromium web browser.
Using the Javascript function encodeURIComponent() replaces slashes with
a %2F, as expected; the problem is then that xdg-open fails to open URIs
containing %2F. Eventually I realised that xdg-open *can* accept a %2F,
but *only* if it comes after a "?" in the URI.
So, as an ugly hack, I set the identifying character for the org-capture
template that handles my bookmarks to be a "?"; this way, any occurrence
of %2F will come after a "?", so xdg-open won't complain!
So the bookmarklet (attached to the F4 key in chromium, using the
"yakshave" extension" looks like this:
yak.bindings.add({
'<f4>': {
onkeydown: function(event) {
eval('location.href="org-protocol:/capture:/?/" +
encodeURIComponent(location.href) + "/" +
encodeURIComponent(document.title) + "/" +
encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());');
}
}
});
Of course this is basically a horrible hack; but it might help some of
you out very slightly!

I solved it in a different way, but none the less very hacky :)
