Well, in your particular example curl _doesn't_ add an ampersand so it took me
a while to figure out what you're talking about.

However, if curl finds a question mark in the URL already present, it then
adds the data with a prepended ampersand. Like in:

   curl --get --data-urlencode "some one" "localhost/url?moo="

I consider it to be a bug to insert that ampersand prepended to the data, it
is meant to be put as a separator between separate pieces of data.

You want to work on fixing the check?
