matchResourceParameters parses the hash of a URL to find the "resource" and additional "page parameters". Both "resource" and page parameters are decoded using decodeURIComponent however "resource" is then treated as a valid URI so we MUST ensure that illegal characters are encoded.

For example: if you navigate into a folder containing URI illegal characters like "a|b" you need to be careful to encode the "|" as "%7C" when creating a URL to use  in an XHR to ensure consistent handling server-side and avoid URI parse problems.

Fixed in Master.
I suspect this may have fixed other encoding related bugs when using Firefox and Safari. From what I saw our server-side was not able to correctly "decorate" resources for request URLs containing illegal URI characters.
