I'm not actually pround of the %s%s%s%s%s%s... etc, but it works fine. There's no need to do further escaping here, since consuming code is not supposed to reach inside the iri struct. It'll be made opaque maybe in the future.

Much of telescope works in terms of URI, so we convert each gopher link to an URI. However, we didn't urlencode the path parameter, thus failing on every link that contains spaces or similar invalid (in URI paths) characters. Issue reported by hryjksn on github, thanks! https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/issues/14

it was mis-parsed as "" causing failures when resolving a relative URI.

takes a string because the internals of telescope makes it easier to use if a string.
