URL encoding strategy for providers #68

Closed richard-jones closed 11 years ago

richard-jones commented 12 years ago

URL encoding is slightly awkward, because there are different escape rules depending on whether the string is to be used in the path of the URL or in the query part. At the moment there is no strategy at all for handling url escaping, but we should try to add something to the provider configuration to tell it whether to escape identifiers and/or which escape method to use.
