What did you do?

I want a option to disable encoding of backslashes and some others chars

func (u *URL) EscapedPath() string {
	if u.RawPath != "" && validEncoded(u.RawPath, encodePath) {
		p, err := unescape(u.RawPath, encodePath)
		if err == nil && p == u.Path {
			return u.RawPath
		}
	}
	if u.Path == "*" {
		return "*" // don't escape (Issue 11202)
	}
	fmt.Println(u.RawPath != "" && validEncoded(u.RawPath, encodePath))
	return escape(u.Path, encodePath)
}

i want something like

func (u *URL) EscapedPath() string {
      if u.DisableEncoding {
		p, err := unescape(u.RawPath, encodePath)
		if err == nil && p == u.Path {
			return u.RawPath
		}
	}
	if u.RawPath != "" && validEncoded(u.RawPath, encodePath) {
		p, err := unescape(u.RawPath, encodePath)
		if err == nil && p == u.Path {
			return u.RawPath
		}
	}
	if u.Path == "*" {
		return "*" // don't escape (Issue 11202)
	}
	fmt.Println(u.RawPath != "" && validEncoded(u.RawPath, encodePath))
	return escape(u.Path, encodePath)
}

I think at this point it is no longer an escaped path and you should be using the raw path directly.

@seankhliao It would be helpful to have this feature added, as I am currently using fhttp, a modified version of net/http which relies on this function to retrieve the path. If I were to modify the library myself, I would need to manage the fhttp library as well, which is not ideal. Therefore, having a simple variable that can turn off the escaping would be a preferable solution.
