Spaces in url string are not being encoded by hackney

[jeramyRR]

Spaces in a url string should be converted to %20 when calling HTTPoison.get, but it appears that this is not happening.

example:
HTTPoison.get "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London, UK"
should convert url to:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,%20UK

This should encode properly if you do it like

HTTPoison.get(
  "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather",
  [],
  params: %{q: "London, UK"}
)

@ryanwinchester this doesn't solve the case when HTTPoison follows a redirect with an URL with spaces in Location header. This issue seems simple to solve but it's open for 2 years. Also, there's a pull request open that resolves this issue since 2016. Can I do something to help?
