urldecode

According to http://php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php , PHP does urldecode() on $_GET and on $_REQUEST (which contains $_POST ). But is directly calling $_POST already decoded? Yes, all the parameters you access via $_GET and $_POST are decoded. The reason the urldecode() documentation doesn't mention $_POST is because the POST data might not be URL-encoded in the first place. It depends on whether the POST data is submitted in application/x-www-form-urlencoded format or multipart/form-data format. But all this is transparent to the application. The documentation of $_GET does mention

Tried decoding a url-encoded string in the following way some_string = 'FireShot3%2B%25282%2529.png' import urllib res = urllib.unquote(some_string).decode() res u'FireShot3+%282%29.png' Original string is FireShot3 (2).png . Any help would be appreciated. Answer: urllib.unquote_plus(urllib.unquote_plus(some_string)) due to double encoding. Your input is encoded double . Using Python 3: urllib.parse.unquote(urllib.parse.unquote(some_string)) Output: 'FireShot3+(2).png' now you have the + left. Edit: Using Python 2.7 it of course is: urllib.unquote(urllib.unquote('FireShot3%2B%25282%2529.png'))

The usual method of URL-encoding a unicode character is to split it into 2 %HH codes. ( \u4161 => %41%61 ) But, how is unicode distinguished when decoding? How do you know that %41%61 is \u4161 vs. \x41\x61 ("Aa")? Are 8-bit characters, that require encoding, preceded by %00 ? Or, is the point that unicode characters are supposed to be lost/split? FlySwat According to Wikipedia : Current standard The generic URI syntax mandates that new URI schemes that provide for the representation of character data in a URI must, in effect, represent characters from the unreserved set without translation,

I need to URL decode a string in a VBScript. The string may contain Unicode characters which are encoded as multiple bytes as per UTF-8. So for example "Paris%20%E2%86%92%20Z%C3%BCrich" would decode to "Paris → Zürich". To do the job, I'm using a piece of code that looks like this: Function URLDecode(str) set list = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList") strLen = Len(str) for i = 1 to strLen sT = mid(str, i, 1) if sT = "%" then if i + 2 <= strLen then list.Add cbyte("&H" & mid(str, i + 1, 2)) i = i + 2 end if else list.Add asc(sT) end if next depth = 0 for each by in list.ToArray() if by

I am using Swift 1.2 to develop my iPhone application and I am communicating with a http web service. The response I am getting is in query string format (key-value pairs) and URL encoded in .Net . I can get the response, but looking the proper way to decode using Swift. Sample response is as follows status=1&message=The+transaction+for+GBP+12.50+was+successful Tried following way to decode and get the server response // This provides encoded response String var responseString = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as! String var decodedResponse = responseString

While learning the concept of Cookies in PHP, I come across the following statement from w3schools PHP Tutorial : The value of the cookie is automatically URLencoded when sending the cookie, and automatically decoded when received (to prevent URLencoding, use setrawcookie() instead) I did not get the meaning of this statement. I have following doubts regarding the above statement : From where the cookie is being sent to whom and at where the cookie is being received from whom? What actually does happen by means of "Value of the cookie is automatically URLencoded when sending the cookie, and

I have a url with querystrings through which some data are passed. I want to retrieve the data in the server side. What is the solution for this problem You can use javascript's escape function to encode the URL. Example : escape("It's me!") // result: It%27s%20me%21 URL Decoding in C# using Uri.UnescapeDataString() function. Example : s = "%46%69%67%68%74%20%74%68%65%20%70%6F%77"; Uri.UnescapeDataString(s); EDIT ------------------------- To Parse Query parameters in C# use NameValueCollection qscoll = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(querystring); Hope this will help. Thanks! Hussain You can use

I'm using awk to urldecode some text. If I code the string into the printf statement like printf "%s", "\x3D" it correctly outputs = . The same if I have the whole escaped string as a variable. However, if I only have the 3D , how can I append the \x so printf will print the = and not \x3D ? I'm using busybox awk 1.4.2 and the ash shell. Since you're using ash and Perl isn't available, I'm assuming that you may not have gawk . For me, using gawk or busybox awk , your second example works the same as the first (I get "=" from both) unless I use the --posix option (in which case I get "x3D" for
