Can't send a POST parameter which has a colon in it

[justinedelson]

As far as I know, it's perfectly legal to have a form parameter sent in a POST which has a colon in it, but I don't believe this is possible with httpie.

In other words, there's no way to do the equivalent of
curl -v -Ffoo:bar=baz http://localhost/

It looks like we need the possibility to escape special characters in field names (e.g., http POST foo\\:bar=baz).

For now, the workaround is to use stdin:

echo -n foo:bar=baz | http -f post httpbin.org/post

I tried to work this out and ended up having a few different ideas for it. The one with the most success so far is able to handle all the normal test cases, and any escaped operator except for parameters with :=. I'll try to get it the rest of the way soon, but if you want to take a look at what I have, it's at my fork.
