If you have a form element with an action attr that contains spaces and curly braces, accessing the action as a property on the DOM element returns a fully-qualified URL with spaces URI-encoded, but curly braces are not replaced.

Both Chrome & Firefox replace the braces with their URI-encoded equivalents.

This breaks code in the wild like https://github.com/indeedeng/proctor-webapp-library/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/static/scripts/app/editor.js#L220 which expects curly braces to be encoded.

Not sure what the "correct" behavior should be here, but consistency with other browsers would be nice.
