http: escape unsafe characters in request path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Make http.request() and friends escape unsafe characters in the request
path. That is, a request for '/foo bar' is now escaped as '/foo%20bar'.

Before this commit, the path was used as-is in the request status line,
creating an invalid HTTP request ("GET /foo bar HTTP/1.1").

Fixes #4381.
