urlencode

If only deal with url encoding, I should use EscapeUriString ? Use EscapeDataString always (for more info about why, see Livven's answer below) Edit : removed dead link to how the two differ on encoding I didn't find the existing answers satisfactory so I decided to dig a little deeper to settle this issue. Surprisingly, the answer is very simple: There is no valid reason to ever use Uri.EscapeUriString . If you need to percent-encode a string, always use Uri.EscapeDataString . Why is this? According to the documentation : Use the EscapeUriString method to prepare an unescaped URI string to be

How do I URI::encode a string like: \x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a\xbc\xde\xf1\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a To get it in a format like: %124Vx%9A%BC%DE%F1%23Eg%89%AB%CD%EF%124Vx%9A (as per RFC 1738) Here's what I've tried: irb(main):123:0> URI::encode "\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a\xbc\xde\xf1\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a" ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:219:in `gsub' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:219:in `escape' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/common.rb:505:in `escape' from (irb):123 from /usr

Hi guys I found out that in order to open a GMAIL compose screen you'd have to be logged in and open the following link: https://mail.google.com/a/domain/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&source=mailto&to=WHOEVER%40COMPANY.COM&su=SUBJECTHERE&cc=WHOEVER%40COMPANY.COM&bcc=WHOEVER%40COMPANY.COM&body=PREPOPULATEDBODY Replacing the variables fills in the corresponding places on the compose form. However if I want to enter into the body multiline text or line breaks its just not working even if I urlencode it. Any ideas here? Check that your UrlEncode method really translates newlines into "%0a". Here's an example

I have a form with method="get" .

Thanks Background It's a bit more subtle than one might think at first sight. For any URL, which is a specific form of the URI standard, certain characters are special. Among the special characters are : (scheme separator) and / (path or hierarchy separator), here's the full list of reserved symbols from RFC-2396 : reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," It has

I am trying to pass percent (%) sign in url like %B6011000995504101^SB but when I echo, it returns ♦011000995504101^SB I want exact same value as I pass it in URL. I have tried to use urlencode() function, but it give me output like this... %B6011000995504101%5ESB please help me regarding this Answer: To send a % sign in a url, instead send %25 . In your case, in order for php to see a percent sign, you must pass the character string %25B6011000995504101^SB to the server. Why: In URLs, the percent sign has special meaning. Is used to encode special characters. For example, & is the separator
