I am attempting to have XBMC display notifications with direct ST integration, but am having some difficulties in writing the SmartApp. Currently I have XBMC displaying notifications from SmartThings by sending http get requests to my EventGhost web server which triggers an XBMC Notification action, but I thought it could be cleaned up a bit.
This is the URL that would need to be triggered
http://Username:Password@Enter.IP.Address.Here:Port/jsonrpc?request={%22jsonrpc%22:%222.0%22,%22method%22:%22GUI.ShowNotification%22,%22params%22:{%22title%22:%22SmartThings%22,%22message%22:%22Front%20Door%20Opened%22},%22id%22:1}
Is there any way to change a space to %20 after a custom message string has been input? For instance - replacing the spaces in between the words Front, Door, & Opened in the URL snippet below
%22message%22:%22Front%20Door%20Opened%22
This is the Smartapp (heavily borrowed from @scottinpollock, thanks!)

}
I am unsure of where I could input the URL to send the XBMC notification. I seem to get errors when trying to input the above URL hardcoded into the Smartapp inside the parentheses of sendHttp()
Anyone have any suggestions on how this could be accomplished?
