731 :: httpclient throws 404 when using complex urls?

  Consider the following

  
  import strutils, httpclient
  
  let s1 = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=test&fulltext=Search"
  echo getContent(s1)
  Run

  always yields 404

  
  web.nim(6)               GetInfoFromCache
  
  httpclient.nim(382)      getContent
  
  Error: unhandled exception: 404 Not Found [HttpRequestError]
  
  c:\nim\lib\pure\uri.nim(30, 13) Warning: $ is deprecated [Deprecated]
  c:\nim\lib\pure\uri.nim(31, 11) Warning: $ is deprecated [Deprecated]

  Error: execution of an external program failed
  
  (Nim Compiler Version 0.10.2 (2014-12-30) [Windows: amd64])
  Run

  AFAIK doing a getContent on a simple url (without '.php?') works fine.

  Any clues?

  thanks!

  Works fine here (0.9.6 though, probably 0.10.2 bug)

  Should be fixed by this: https://github.com/Araq/Nim/pull/1848 You can try compiling the devel branch as described here: https://github.com/Araq/Nim

  Thanks, I went with the unsafe way... I merged the diffs on my local uri.nim and httpclient.nim from the fix. Works now.

  @def Great work! Fast fixes like this are what makes Nim so great!
