      Parameters:
      mb - The URL encoded bytes
      query - true if this is a query string. For a query string '+' will be decoded to ' '
      Throws:
      IOException - Invalid %xx URL encoding

      Parameters:
      mb - The URL encoded bytes
      encodedSolidusHandling - How should the %2f sequence handled by the decoder? For query strings this parameter will be ignored and the %2f sequence will be decoded
      Throws:
      IOException - Invalid %xx URL encoding
