Hi Mark,

How exactly is this peculiar formatting breaking your logic?  Because 
the '%'-escaping logic is by design, with a similar un-escaping logic 
being included in the code that parses those Path headers, so the UDP 
<-> TLS translation using Path headers should work just fine.

See this commit for full details on how the escaping logic solves 
multiple problems with the original approach: [1].

PS: with 3 years having passed since I wrote that commit, nowadays I 
would look at a different way of solving the same problem, as I vaguely 
recall that URI param values can be enclosed in double-quotes ("), 
allowing us to put anything in there, without affecting the semantics of 
the original URI.  Just an idea that we could research/confirm/infirm 
should we find any non-fixable issues with the current escaping approach.
