Code list names with spaces are not urlEncoded

[peterdesmet]

Some code lists have a space in their name, e.g. Platform Class. It is currently not possible to query these with getCodeList(). The solution is to utils::URLencode() the input parameter within the function, before passing it to the API, so that:

Platform Class becomes Platform%20Class:

library(icesVocab)
code_list <- "Platform Class"
codes <- getCodeList(code_list) # Error
#> Warning in readVocab(url): HTTP error 400.

code_list_encoded <- utils::URLencode(code_list)
code_list_encoded
#> [1] "Platform%20Class"
codes <- getCodeList(code_list_encoded) # Works fine

Note that this should also be adapted in getCodeDetail()
