urlEscape7Bit

This function returns a URL-encoded version of the string parameter. This is similar to the url function but it only encodes characters that are not 7-bit clean (ASCII). Therefore this function can be called repeatedly on the same string.

If the url function is used to double encode a string, every % character is encoded to %25.
