 * Hi there – not sure if this is the correct forum, so forgive me if it is not.
 * By default the wp_remote_get method in the HTTP API seems to encode “special”
   characters.
 * Is there a way to turn this off? The server I am hitting with my http request
   isn’t expecting an encoded cookie.
 * Thanks –
