%2F is always replaced with backslash which may brakes CouchDB

[wrazik]

Hi!
I'm trying to set up CouchDB data source with JSON API. I have a document in which "_id" contains backslashes, for example:

some/id

Full path to such object is:

localhost:5984/db_name/some%2Fid

Because of nature of CouchDB, below address is incorrect (it means "document with _id=some, field named 'id'")

localhost:5984/db_name/some/id

JSON API always replaces %2F with backslashes, so user can't setup address correctly.

There is a workaround for this - you have to encode % as html code %25:

localhost:5984/db_name/some%252Fid

I've had this reported in the past, and had to revert my fix at the time. I remember there seemed to be some inconsistencies with how the Grafana SDK interpreted encoded characters. For more information, check out #59.

If anyone wants to help debug this, I'd appreciate it, otherwise it might take a while before I take another stab at it.
