Overview
The encodeUrl() function takes urlExpression as an argument and encodes "all space characters" and other characters disallowed in a URL string, and returns the encoded string.
This function can be used in getURL(), postURL() and openURL() Deluge tasks to encode the URL params and then pass the encoded URL string.
