How to encode ".." for use in a URL path?

I'm trying to construct a URL with something like:

var myUrl = '/path/to/api/' + encodeURIComponent(str);

But if str is .. then your browser automatically lops off a path segment so that the URL becomes /path/to which is not what I want.

I've tried encoding .. as %2E%2E but your browser still re-interprets it before the request is sent. Is there anything I can do to have path actually come through to my server as /path/to/api/..?

urlencode javascript
