Misstepped on this issue whilst attempting to conjure up a feed with a query string such as blabla.php?foo=bar.

The error message title-mentioned may actually be the conclusion of different conditions, so the following may or may not be applicable for you.

The ‘=’ char in the query string is converted to ‘%3D’ by SimplePie_IRI::replace_invalid_with_pct_encoding(); dunno whether the feed provider should accept PCT encoded query string, but it fails miserably in my situation nonetheless. So added ‘=’ in the list of authorized chars in SimplePie_IRI::replace_invalid_with_pct_encoding() invocation in SimplePie_IRI::set_query(), just as it is already done in SimplePie_IRI::set_host() and SimplePie_IRI::set_path().

Here attached the according patch.
