URI may not contain < and > signs

But it may contain the escaped versions, still the same question.

    Not the same question, and not the same answer. Suppose the question was, how do I match the substring between < and > in a string, the efficient answer would be: 
        /<([^>]*)>/

    but for the URI escaped version, the answer certainly isn't: 

        /%3C([^%3E]*)%3E/i
