done, I have updated the description with code sample

If you want the : (and a few other things) escaped, you need to call query_escape instead of path_escape.

There are different rules for escaping different parts of a URL.

If you want more detail about exactly what is escaped when, read the comments in vlib/net/urllib/urllib.v, check RFC3986, etc.
