I tried this, sending a redirect only if a 404 happens:

```diff

         return await self.handle_404(request, send)
 
     async def handle_404(self, request, send, exception=None):

```
But this URL didn't work:

- http://127.0.0.1:8001/fivethirtyeight/twitter-ratio%2Fsenators

I was expecting that to redirect to this page:

- http://127.0.0.1:8001/fivethirtyeight/twitter-2Dratio-2Fsenators

But instead it took me to another 404:

- http://127.0.0.1:8001/fivethirtyeight/twitter-ratio%2Fsenators

This is because that URL contains both a %-escaped `/` AND a plain `-` - which was not escaped in the old system but is escaped in the new system.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1160750713,Implement redirects from old % encoding to new dash encoding,

https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/table%2Fwith%2Fslashes.csv should be redirecting now that this is deployed - which it is, because https://latest.datasette.io/-/versions shows 644d25d1de78a36b105cca479e7b3e4375a6eadc - but I'm not getting that redirect.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1160750713,Implement redirects from old % encoding to new dash encoding,
