As far as im aware, you cannot have a ? in a query string without encoding it.

As far as im aware, you cannot have a ? in a query string without encoding it.

You can. See RFC 3986: query = *( pchar / "/" / "?" ) i.e. a query can be made up of any path character, /, or ?.

The string you pass to query_args should be the query string, not the query string with a leading ?.
