Note:
CertaincharactersareinvalidinaURL(forexample,'$','%',and'&')andmustbepercent-
encoded.Thesameappliestoafilepath,sincethatactuallyisaURLthatstartswiththefilepro-

NotethatevenaspacecharacterisinvalidinaURL.SpacesinaURLaresupportedforback-
wardcompatibility,butitisrecommendedtopercent-encodeaspacecharacteras%20.
