I only spent about 5 minutes looking for this, so I could be totally wrong:

In 0.8.53, src/http/ngx_http_parse.c:1220 appears to be the start of the relevant code. On a quick scan, it looks like the percent-decoding is hardcoded. (case sw_quoted, followed by case sw_quoted_second, inside a switch loop)

Again, I am not too familiar with this source and only spent a few minutes looking. So someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
