Skip query param encoding? about clj-http HOT 3 OPEN

After some digging through the code and tinkering, I've found that, even if I disable the URL encoding, this will ultimately result in Java-related URI parsing errors.

(with-redefs [clj-http.client/url-encode-illegal-characters identity]
  (:body (clj-http.client/get "https://css.gg/css?=link|bulb")))

; eval (current-form): (with-redefs [clj-http.client/url-encode-illegal-c...
; (err) Execution error (URISyntaxException) at java.net.URI$Parser/fail (URI.java:2913).
; (err) Illegal character in query at index 24: https://css.gg/css?=link|bulb

So it could be that this just can't be done with the java.net classes.

EDIT: (URL. "https://css.gg/css?=link|bulb") works fine. Just not if you try to run it through a parser.

hey @jeaye
just out of curiosity, did you try to use different separator like ,

(clj-http.client/get "https://css.gg/css?=link,bulb")

this one seems like returning what's expected.

I know it's undocumented feature but I just somehow happened to find it. /, \, . seems working too btw.

Oh, that's amazing. Thank you!
