Not possible to send query array parameter in coma separated format

[pawelusfr]

Describe the bug

• Node.js version: 10.21.0
• OS & version: -

I need to send a query parameter that is an array in comma separated format e.g. htts://someurl.com?users=user1,user2 In got 9.6.0 it was possible using query-string module as described in documentation In got 11.5.1 that part of documentation about query-string is gone and got will url escape the searchParams no matter what I try (query-string or URLSearchParams)

Actual behavior

got url escapes searchParams and will send the request to http://someurl.com?users=user1%2Cuser2

Expected behavior

got should not escape searchParams and send the request to htts://someurl.com?users=user1,user2

Code to reproduce

const users = ['user1', 'user2'];
const result = got.get('http://someurl.com', {searchParams: new URLSearchParams({users})});
...

Checklist

• [x] I have read the documentation.
• [ ] I have tried my code with the latest version of Node.js and Got.

You need to pass the search string in a URL:

require('got').get('https://httpbin.org/anything?users=a,b,c').json();

[szmarczak]

That's because the search string doesn't have to be a query string.
