Hi all,
    I have found a small bug in the http encoding.
The tilde character (~) is unsafe for the http protocol and must be encoded:
    http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html
I have attached a small fix.
It seems work well.
To check if your system works right eval
    'tilde=~' encodeForHTTP
you must get:
    'tilde%3D%7E'

Ciao ciao!
