What is the expected behavior?

esp_http_client should either provide API to do urlencode or handle it internally.

What is the actual behavior?

If the URL has space, it shows error:
e.g.

E (5419) HTTP_CLIENT: Error parse url http://192.168.0.104/test space/test
E (5426) HTTP_CLIENT: Failed to set URL

Steps to reproduce.

You can test using esp_http_client_example, just need to modify the URL setting to include space.

Spaces are no valid characters in URLs. They have to be encoded using %20

I know that.
maybe esp_http_client can provide API to encode it. (Otherwise people have to open-coded the same API)
