$ curl --silent --upload-file 'file with spaces?.txt' https://transfer.sh/

Notice how the spaces were correctly encoded (%20), but the question mark was not (should have been %3F). This then causes problems when trying to access the given URL, as it shows as not existing.

The upload did work, and the file does exist at the correct location (https://transfer.sh/RYw9k/file%20with%20spaces%3F.txt), it’s just the returned response that shows incorrect information.

Characters confirmed to not get encoded:

? (%20)
# (%23)
