Subject: bug#7017: url-retrieve seems busted

If you put the following in a buffer and eval it, you'll get a 404:

    ;; http://httpbin.org/get?x=1
    ;; eval this buffer
    (url-retrieve (buffer-substring-no-properties 4 30) (lambda (&rest args) (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))))

If you curl/wget the same URL, it'll work fine.

If you look at the request, it's going to "/get%3fx%3d1". It seems to me
that the URL is getting improperly encoded for multibyte strings.
