Let me repeat my concerns about this functionality here - see
https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/551#issuecomment-278158142.
At the very least can you document that this is meant only for query
parameters. While not perfect it can do the job until improved. The various
parts of the URL have different rules for escaping so this won't work
universally.
