Description

In Enterprise Chef and Chef 11, the storage for the cookbook files has changed. Now the URLs to download the file are signed URLs that are outside the Chef Server (in S3, for example).

If those URLs contain URL encoded characters in the 'Signature' query parameter, the request is generated with an invalid signature. There is a discussion [1] in the chef-dev mailing list to understand the details of how those characters should be treated when signing the requests, so we can properly add the appropriate changes.
