As Bill pointed out, it seems it is. libcurl doesn't thinks so though, so it
fails like this. Use it encoded for now to work around this flaw.

It probably should, but as you can see in the code it has no knowledge about
that particular protocol it is at that point, and there's no legal function
for the trailing ?-letter in FTP so I don't think it makes any harm in
allowing one to terminate the host name.

I'll work on a fix.
