[Seaside] is there url encoding in Seaside or Squeak?

Why would you think WAUrlEncoder has nothing to do with url encoding?

url :=
'xmlPath=http://localhost:9090/seaside/tests/facade?24&_k=QfTdFUeY&_s=FSxTGy
uBNcNckyjq'.

String streamContents: [:stream |  
	url do: [:each | (WAUrlEncoder encode: each on: stream)]]

It just encodes on character at a time.  Which gives you an identical answer
up until _k, where I notice that Seaside doesn't encode _'s like your
examples do, but I believe Seaside is correct here, _'s don't need encoding.
