How to add a parameter such as locate="Paris,France"?

[wsw70]

Summary: I would like to add verbatim locate="Paris,France" as a parameter to a GET call

Consider the following code:

town := "Paris"
country := "France"
req := resty.New().R().
	SetHeader("Accept", "application/json").
	SetResult(response).
	SetQueryParams(map[string]string{
		"locate": fmt.Sprintf("\"%s,%s\"", town, country),
		"json":   "1",
		"auth":   "XXX",
	})
resp, err := req.Get("https://geocode.xyz")

My intent was to have the following request: https://geocode.xyz?auth=XXX&json=1&locate="Paris,France" but the URI that is actually sent is https://geocode.xyz?auth=XXX&json=1&locate=%22Paris%2CFrance%22.

I did all kinds of attempts to force the quotes and comma in the call, but they always get encoded. Can I use resty to make such a call?

@wsw70 Have you tried this https://geocode.xyz?auth=XXX&json=1&locate="Paris,France" with Go's default HTTP client?
