URL Encoding

Is it possible to encode the URL before fire up the request?

e.g:

$scope.user.getList(‘cars’); //would fires users/123/cars.

Let say, the user’s id contains characters like: ~!@#$&*()=:/,;?+', and I want to encode before sending. E.g:roy#01.

I think this is a bug, and restangular should url-encode supplied entity IDs before using them to construct REST urls.

You said:

$http encodes the Request Parameters as tey need to be encoded. It doesn’t encode the rest of the URL and for a good reason. Maybe you actually want to go to a URL with a # which is entirely possible.

… but this is not comparable, because the argument to $http is a URL, whereas the argument to restangular functions like getList is an entity ID. It is correct for angularJS to not url-encode a URL typed argument, as that would result in double-encoding, as you point out. However, it is incorrect for restangular to not URL encode a String value when using it in a URL.

Actually, I think the bug I am experiencing is in ng-admin, sorry.
