Lee Goddard mentioned in #68644 that PUT calls are more similar to POST
calls. One example is that it is very common practice to use PUT
through form submission, and I think it would be a huge benefit for PUT
to automagically URL-encode the content.
Ostensibly, it would be useful for any other HTTP verb, but PUT is
definitely one where it would be most appreciated.
