		**For the Query part**

		* SPACE is encoded as '+' or '%20'
		* Letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9) and the characters '~', '-', '.' and '_' are left as-is + is encoded by %2B
		* All other characters are encoded as %HH hex representation with any non-ASCII characters
		first encoded as UTF-8 (or other specified encoding)

		The octet corresponding to the tilde ("~") is permitted in query strings by RFC3986 but required to be
		percent-encoded in HTML forms to "%7E".

		The encoding of SPACE as '+' and the selection of "as-is" characters distinguishes this encoding
		from [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 RFC 3986].
