.SH DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string and
returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
-A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
-two-digit hexadecimal number).
+A-Z, 0-9, '-', '.', '_' or '~' are converted to their "URL escaped" version
+(%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP
uses strlen() on the input \fBurl\fP to find out the size.
