<pre>Reduction: <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/adamesque/nqp56nuo/">https://jsfiddle.net/adamesque/nqp56nuo/</a>
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 <a href="https://github.com/indeedeng/proctor-webapp-library/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/static/scripts/app/editor.js#L220">https://github.com/indeedeng/proctor-webapp-library/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/static/scripts/app/editor.js#L220</a> which expects curly braces to be encoded.
Not sure what the "correct" behavior should be here, but consistency with other browsers would be nice.</pre>
