      Trying to lookup a cluster with an artist containing a slash, more specifically, 'AC/DC', generates a seemly invalid query URL:

       
GET http://localhost:5001/ws/2/release/?limit=%19&query=release%3A%28%2774%20jailbreak%29%20tracks%3A%285%29%20artist%3A%28ac%2Fdc%29

      The URLs above point to a local server, but I observe the same behavior using musicbrainz.org.
