Download metadata and covers when title has special characters

Hi,
I've found that apostrophies and special characters etc in titles tend to break whatever API Calibre uses to query google/amazon etc.

Please can you tell me if the title is escaped before being passed to metadata suppliers ?

cheers
Simon

My apologies, I have fixed most of the errors I had already so I don't have any evidence of any issue. Indded, I may have misintepretted the cause. Thanks for all your hard work.
