Don't use URI.encode.

What charaters should be encoded are context sensitive but
URI.encode is context insensitive.

"[" should be percent-encoded except for IPv6 addresses.

URI should be composed by concatenating encoded components with delimiters.
URI.encode which encode a whole URI is the just a wrong way to composing a URI.
Don't use it.
