Problem:
When doing a chttp POST with a ~ (tilde) in the URL, the ~ always gets URLENCODED. This should not happen. It's being transformed to %7E while this should not happen. It is being used by the LinkedIn API oAuth methods, which make ColdFusion incompatible with the LinkedIn API. The are many Forum post, like http://developer.linkedin.com/thread/2233
Method:
There is just one step:<cfhttp method="POST" URL="http://www.test.com"><cfhttpparam name="field" type="url" value="~" /></cfhttp>The 'field' on the receiving end should be: ~, but is not.
