Encoding issue throwing exception on 1.15.3

Posted also on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74917912/url-encoding-in-jsoup-not-working-properly

When I changed version from 1.11.3 to 1.15.3 I started getting MalformedUrlException when fetching URLs with characters that need encoding, like: https://im-creation-assets.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/CelebrityCars[DE]/20221208JuliaRobertsCarJvo/juliayoung-1___native_1200-627.jpg)
Because of the '[' and ']' in the URL...

The exception comes from org.jsoup.helper.CookieUtil#asUri - and was added somewhere between those versions.

I see that your code tries to encode in org.jsoup.helper.HttpConnection#encodeUrl - but this encoding does not work on this URL (and many more).
I can do the encoding myself before calling org.jsoup.Jsoup#connect - the problem is that if there is a redirect to such a URL, I get back to this error.

We do encoding, by the way, using springframework, and it works pretty well, something like:

import org.springframework.web.util.UriComponentsBuilder;
final String encodedUrl = UriComponentsBuilder
.fromUriString(url)
.build()
.encode()
.toUri()
.toString();

(I know I can avoid redirects - do them myself - and encode every URL... but maybe it is possible to fix this encoding issue for everyone...).

Thanks!
