HTTPClientTransport ignores url parameters

I recently ran into a situation where I had to pass a parameter to a thrift http endpoint, but noticed that HTTPClientTransport was ignoring it when sending the request.

client = HTTPClientTransport.new('http://www.foo.com/my/service?param=value")
client.do_something

will post to http://www.foo.com/my/service instead of http://www.foo.com/my/service?param=value
