Today I learned, that passing **unencoded text** into the body of a POST request
is a bad idea. It could result in security issues and therefore always should be
encoded.

One approach to resolve this is using `URLSearchParams`. You can learn more
about the API on mdn:

Jake Archibald wrote a blog post about this topic, where he explains it in more
