Why is %2526 used instead of %26 to encode an &?
Im invoking a URL to an external site and when I encode the & as %2526 the parameters are passed correctly but when I just use %26 they are not.

If you url-encode an ampersand you get
%26. If you url-encode%26you get%2526. Thus, it is url-encoded twice.
