title: How can I use HTTParty with UTF-8 encoding?
body: <p>I have a URL like <code>http://example.com/tag/София/new.json</code> and I want to make a GET request with HTTParty. When I do:</p>
  
  <p>HTTPArty.get "<a href="http://example.com/tag/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%8F/new.json" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.com/tag/София/new.json</a></p>
  
  <p>I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>URI::InvalidURIError at /
  bad URI(is not URI?): link here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas how to handle this ?</p>
