won't encode special character in http get url path

[linbo]

Hi,

I have an restful server with an url like this:

http://host:port/id/name:107/?type=FS

Since there is an special character colon in the path, I've checked code, find those codes in hackney.erl

request(Method, #hackney_url{}=URL0, Headers, Body, Options0) ->
    %% normalize the url encoding
    URL = hackney_url:normalize(URL0),

Actually, I won't wan't encode colon in URL, but maybe in query parameters, but the code seems encode all the URL.

If I use httpc:get, looks working fine.

mmm Is this a valid syntax though? Hackney is reusing the algorithm you can find in chrome. I will check the spec anyway.
