Unauthorized, The input authorization token can't serve the request: url encoding issue

See original GitHub issue

Similar to #82, we’re seeing the error message in the title. The full error object is this:

{
    "code":"Unauthorized",
    "message":"The input authorization token can\'t serve the request. Please check that the expected payload is built as per the protocol, and check the key being used. Server used the following payload to sign: \'put\\ndocs\\ndbs/testdb/colls/pouchdb-test-collection/docs/ÿattach-storeÿmd5-CRq749X7/wgSD6EQeGTuFg==\\nwed, 21 jun 2017 21:28:58 gmt\\n\\n\'\\r\\nActivityId: 9f9d22ea-9c51-4b4e-bd51-de7ca5a68c1e"
}

My doc id is ÿattach-storeÿmd5-CRq749X7%2fwgSD6EQeGTuFg== and as you can see it has a %2f in it, and the underlying auth system seems to do a URL-Decode on the input key when signing the request.

Is this expected behaviour? What is the recommended way to encode and decode keys in a way that it is safe with DocumentDB/CosmosDB?

Grateful for any help 😃
