How shall the application developer currently do that?

Here I do not agree, basically the server has to provide a valid
relocation URL, anything else is a client-side workaround.
Those invalid relocation-URLs occur so rarely that automatic
reencoding or even a full validation in most cases was nothing but
wasted performance. And if we would build in a simple and fast
auto-encoding today I bet that another user will get another kind
of invalid URL tomorrow.
Instead the component should provide access to parts of a URL,
either by var-parameters in event OnLocationChange or by public
properties so the application developer can do what's required himself.
A class TIcsUrl could help to make current source code better readable.
A faster and more copmlete function UrlEncode should be made available.
