RFC 3986 in fact allows any sequence of pchars (plus "/" and "?") in the
query string.  If you want to decode it into a sequence of name=value
pairs separated by & or ;, that's great, but it's a higher-level protocol
used by HTTP forms, not part of URI syntax.

Also, if by "\s" you mean space, spaces are not allowed in URIs.
