------------------------------------------------------------------
Having a function that takes multiple arguments would fall into the category of
[subjectless
functions|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/expression-language-guide.html#subjectless].
In that case, it might make more sense to name it something like {{getUri}}.

> Nifi Expression Language method urlEncode does encode a URL path correctly

> Key: NIFI-10754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10754
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Major
>
> The Nifi Expression Language urlEncode method replaces white space with a +
> and not %20. That is fine for the query section of a URL but not the path.
> There are many Stackoverflow posts which detail the issue. Here is one,
> [URLEncoder not able to translate space
> character|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4737841/urlencoder-not-able-to-translate-space-character]
> Our particular scenario is where we build a URL from attributes and then try
> to call the URL with InvokeHTTP
> e.g. of a URL with a space in its path
> {code:java}
> https://somehost/api/v1/somepath
> /actual?att1=something&att2=somethingelse{code}
> from that URL we only encode the part which may have special characters
> {code:java}
> somepath /actual{code}
> urlEncode will convert that to
> {code:java}
> somepath+%2Factual{code}
> The + in the URL path is not the same as a blank space hence the call to
> InvokeHttp fails.
