Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 raimue@…]:
 > Now you already made the effort of writing this in Tcl, but as we are
 already using and linking with libcurl, we could use
 [http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_escape.html curl_easy_escape()]
 for this purpose.
 That would be fine with me, except if it does what the docs say: "All
 input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their 'URL
 escaped' version" -- if that's what it really does then that's broken just
 like tcl < 8.4.12 was broken: it needs to convert all characters that are
 not a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, ., _ or ~.
