.B RTMP
There's no official URL spec for RTMP so libcurl uses the URL syntax supported
by the underlying librtmp library. It has a syntax where it wants a
traditional URL, followed by a space and a series of space-separated
name=value pairs.
While space is not typically a "legal" letter, libcurl accepts them. When a
user wants to pass in a '#' (hash) character it will be treated as a fragment
and get cut off by libcurl if provided literally. You will instead have to
escape it by providing it as backslash and its ASCII value in hexadecimal:
"\\23".
