[c-nsp] Using a "?" in a URL

Is there a way to use a "?" in a URL from the IOS command line?  I'd
like to be able to do something like:

copy http://10.0.0.1/config-gen.php?hostname=switch-hostname start

But IOS is interpreting the "?" as a request to provide
context-sensitive help.  Quoting the URL or trying to escape the "?"
with backslashes doesn't help. Is there any way to turn this behavior
off, at least temporarily?  I can work around this using extra path
information instead of query parameters in the URL but I thought that
I'd see if there's a way to turn it off.
