"Path not supported by Algolia REST API"

[inactgrid]

I'm encountering the same problem as in #116 issue from 2016. Possibly the asterisk in the url is causing it. It could be issue with Hackney. I tried looking at the code but I'm not competent enough to troubleshoot it.

The issue:

• $ curl 'https://m19dxw5x0q-dsn.algolia.net/1/indexes/*/queries' --data-raw '' returns "400, no content in POST request", as expected
• HTTPoison.post! "https://m19dxw5x0q-3.algolianet.com/1/indexes/*/queries", "" returns "404, path not supported by Algolia REST API", despite it being a valid path

Proper instructions to reproduce:

• Open the network tab in the DevTools
• Go to https://fontawesome.com/search?q=poison (or try other websites using Algolia)
• Copy the XHR request as cURL, executing it in shell will return search results, as expected
• Convert the same cURL to HTTPoison with https://curlconverter.com/elixir/, executing it will return 404

It is actually a bug in the url spec implementation by hackney. I fixed it here: https://github.com/benoitc/hackney/pull/720
