This didn't work, so I investigated a bit further. Because the = sign is
included in org-link-escape-chars, the org-url-hexify-p value will not make
anu difference.

So the problem is still that equals signs are hexified in org-links.
Reading =org.el= and seeing the =org-link-escape-chars= constant this seems
to be expected behavior.

So I think the issue is that the html exporter doesn't unhexify the equals
sign in the link. As a result the link in the html doesn't work.

e.g.

The link:

http://test/test?name=me

Is translated to:

http://test/test?name%3Dme

In the org file

And that link is also included in the HTML where I would have expected the
equals sign again.
