Spaces should be normalized as + in query strings #1113
Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
Some web services like the VLC Web Interface use %20 to represent spaces in search params. However, Got automatically forces + with no way to override it even if put through query-string.
Describe the feature
The simplest solution would be to allow such overrides using the current syntax:
const got = require("got")
const queryString = require("query-string")
await got(`http://192.168.1.2/requests/status.json`), {
port,
password,
searchParams: queryString.stringify({
command,
...options,
}).replace(/\+/, "%20")
})The current workaround is to insert it directly into the url:
const got = require("got")
const queryString = require("query-string")
await got(`http://192.168.1.2/requests/status.json?${queryString.stringify({
command,
...options,
}).replace(/\+/, "%20")}`), {
port,
password,
})See: https://github.com/Richienb/vlc/blob/62f395cd471cf9cad0c540bad3aade8d2a7faa6f/src/index.ts#L169-L175
