/**
encodeURIComponent - encodes all characters except:
A-Z a-z 0-9 - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )
Encode everything. When you want to send some data that is encoded.
Useful for Base-64 data A-Z a-z 0-9 + /
encodeURI - encodes all characters except the previous list AND
; , / ? : @ & = + $ #
Keeps the URL as a usable URL.
