New description:

 currently copy&paste from WUI to CLI messes things up, when capstrings
 come into play:
 my browser shows colons as %3A and I don't like replacing them every time.

 How about  the CLI automatically URL-decoding capstrings when required?
 I suppose that this might pose a few risk, so afaict a simple string
 `capstr.replace("%3A",':')` might suffice? Are there other special chars
 we'd need to take care of?
