Wrap the encrypted date with URLEncodedFormat().
changes spaces to + signs and non-alphanumeric to hex.
CFAS will automatically decode such an URL var.
- test before using ... does Encrypt() produce strings
using + and %hex chars? If so, then the decoding of the
URL var might get wrong - won't happen with an input tag.
