----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Using `form-urlencode` (and hence, `http-client` when a function such as
 `with-input-from-request` is given an alist) doesn't encode slashes in
 parameter values.  For example:

 {{{
 #;2> (form-urlencode '(("foo" . "<p>hello</p>")))
 "foo=%3Cp%3Ehello%3C/p%3E"
 }}}

 This has caused some problems for me when receiving ends don't process the
 slash correctly.  I worked around it by calling `uri-encode-string`
 directly (which does escape the slash) rather than having `http-client` do
 the encoding of an alist for me automatically.
