    Encode a string according to RFC 1738.
    "...Only alphanumerics [0-9a-zA-Z], the special characters "$-_.+!*'()," [not including the quotes - ed], and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL."
    
    The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9' remain the same.
    
    The unreserved characters - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) remain the same.
