Elixir: URI.encode Will not Encode URL

[andrewcottage]

Environment

Elixir 1.4.2, Erlang 19.2
Ubuntu 16.10

Current behavior

URI.encode("http://www.brookstone.com/pd/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband/320397p.html")

Returns

"http://www.brookstone.com/pd/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband/320397p.html"

Expected behavior

URI.encode("http://www.brookstone.com/pd/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband/320397p.html")

Should Return

"http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brookstone.com%2Fpd%2Ffitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband%2F320397p.html"

and furthermore If I run the URL through :http_uri.encode it returns the expected output.

:http_uri.encode 'http://www.brookstone.com/pd/fitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband/320397p.html'
'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brookstone.com%2Fpd%2Ffitbit-charge-2-heart-rate-and-fitness-wristband%2F320397p.html'
