Before I posted to this list, I did some googling and that was a
suggestion that came up. However the post I found was quite old, and
searching through Assistant, I do not find any function encode(). There
is however Q3Url::encode().

I did find a function called QUrl::fromPercentEncoding(), which is the
Qt4 equivalent. However, does url encoding take into account HTML
characters like <,>&? I though it would only take care of URL specific
characters, like /,& and @. Looking at Wikipedia entry, this seems about
right:
