Isn't an external method a bit overkill? It is possible to just create a 
DTML Method called url_quote where the body is:
<dtml-var s url_quote>

(making sure there is no whitespace before this line, and no 
newline after it.)

Then from any other DTML method you just call it remembering to 
pass in the parameter by name.

e.g. 
 <dtml-call 
"RESPONSE.redirect(URL1+'?foo_bar='+url_quote(s=ufoobar))">
