* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
* library/http/http.tcl: that specifies encoding conversion of * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery. Previously * tests/http.test: undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior, which will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http package to 2.5.0.
