URI::encode throws warning: URI.escape is obsolete

[adrianshort]

Currently from these lines in northgate.rb:

results_url = URI::encode(base_url + response2.headers['Location'].gsub!('PS=10', 'PS=99999'))

app.info_url = URI::encode(generic_url + cells[0].at('a')[:href].strip)

We need to improve the URL escaping by understanding what's precisely required here and doing it properly.

This post gives some guidance:
