You will need to use %5B for '[' and %5D for ']'.

You can get a table from http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp

That said, it would be nice if someone can write a urlencode function
-- maybe as a Karma generator? :D Any takers?

I would love to see one in boost/network/protocol/http/utils/ -- so if
you have tests and an implementation on your fork, I would love to get
this in 0.7. :)
