open escapes # when there are spaces in the URL

[martin-braun]

open("https://google.com#test 123");

will open https://google.com%23test%20123 when it should open https://google.com#test%20123. Edgy case, but threw me off.

Would be nice if this would be fixed for the next poor guy searching for a way to disable escaping.

What operating system?

@sindresorhus Sorry, forgot to mention.

macOS 12.1 (21C52)

Looking closer at this, it's working as expected. Unescaped space is not valid in an URL.

The native open also works this way:

command open 'https://google.com#test 123'

Well that's interesting. I thought I spotted a bug, but yes, it is no valid URL anyways. Well then it's fine I guess.

Thanks for looking into it.
