title: Jquery escaping URL in Cordova
body: <p>I'm running my Cordova app through the browser.  </p>
  
  <p>And when it needs to send an ajax request, it does so to a partially escaped URL.<br>
  <a href="http://192.168.8.100:3000/proxy/https%3A%2F%2Fqz.com%2Fpostqr" rel="nofollow">http://192.168.8.100:3000/proxy/https%3A%2F%2Fqz.com%2Fpostqr</a></p>
  
  <p>I have tried encoding the URI, tried serializing, yet the same behavior can be seen. The browser is Chrome running on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>Code in question:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var url = "https://qz.com/postqr";
      var data = {payload:results,user:user};
      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: url,
          data: data
      }).fail(function(data){
          console.log('ERROR SUBMITTING RES');
          console.log(data);
      }).done(function(data) {
                  console.log('SUBMITTING RES');
  console.log(data);
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>```</p>
