urlencode

This is my URL . The problem is, that the address field is not being appended to urlpath . Does anyone know why that is? var address:string address = "American Tourister, Abids Road, Bogulkunta, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India" let urlpath = NSString(format: "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address="+"\(address)") Bryan Chen Swift 4.2 var urlString = originalString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed) Swift 3.0 var address = "American Tourister, Abids Road, Bogulkunta, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India" let escapedAddress = address

How does one encode query parameters to go on a url in Java? I know, this seems like an obvious and already asked question. There are two subtleties I'm not sure of: Should spaces be encoded on the url as "+" or as "%20"? In chrome if I type in "http://google.com/foo=?bar me" chrome changes it to be encoded with %20 Is it necessary/correct to encode colons ":" as %3B? Chrome doesn't. Notes: java.net.URLEncoder.encode doesn't seem to work, it seems to be for encoding data to be form submitted. For example, it encodes space as + instead of %20 , and encodes colon which isn't necessary. java.net

Does anyone know of any good C++ code that does this? I faced the encoding half of this problem the other day. Unhappy with the available options, and after taking a look at this C sample code , i decided to roll my own C++ url-encode function: #include <cctype> #include <iomanip> #include <sstream> #include <string> using namespace std; string url_encode(const string &value) { ostringstream escaped; escaped.fill('0'); escaped << hex; for (string::const_iterator i = value.begin(), n = value.end(); i != n; ++i) { string::value_type c = (*i); // Keep alphanumeric and other accepted characters

If I do url = "http://example.com?p=" + urllib.quote(query) It doesn't encode / to %2F (breaks OAuth normalization) It doesn't handle Unicode (it throws an exception) Is there a better library? Nadia Alramli From the docs : urllib.quote(string[, safe]) Replace special characters in string using the %xx escape. Letters, digits, and the characters '_.-' are never quoted. By default, this function is intended for quoting the path section of the URL.The optional safe parameter specifies additional characters that should not be quoted — its default value is '/' That means passing '' for safe will

I know of the non-standard %uxxxx scheme but that doesn't seem like a wise choice since the scheme has been rejected by the W3C. Some interesting examples: The heart character. If I type this into my browser: http://www.google.com/search?q=♥ Then copy and paste it, I see this URL http://www.google.com/search?q=%E2%99%A5 which makes it seem like Firefox (or Safari) is doing this. urllib.quote_plus(x.encode("latin-1")) '%E2%99%A5' which makes sense, except for things that can't be encoded in Latin-1, like the triple dot character. … If I type the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=… into my
