title: URI::InvalidURIError for a URI that's not in my power to encode
body: <p>I'm using <a href="https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty" rel="nofollow">httparty</a> to unshorten short URIs and I happened upon:</p>
  
  <p><code>HTTParty.get('http://bit.ly/19NoFfn', limit: 50 )</code></p>
  
  <p>which when expanded yields:</p>
  
  <p><code>https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/PhpSpec Snippets</code></p>
  
  <p>which obviously throws a: URI::InvalidURIError.</p>
  
  <p>Would it be possible to pass some parameter to httparty so that it would automatically try to encode URIs before trying to follow them?</p>
