How to encode/decode url strings in an UWP App

问题

I'm building a UWP App which communicates with a Web-Api. At some Point I'm sending a string in the url to the Web-Api which can be manipulated by the user. Because of that the string can include characters which could do evil things to the Web-Api.
For example:
This is my UserController

[Route("api/user/{uid}")]
public User GetUser(string uid)
{
   return userRepository.GetByUid(uid);
}

For the sake of this example we assume that the user can put in the uid manually in a textbox. Now if he puts in

../vipuser

He could have access to the VipUserController. Because the ../ goes one hirachy up.

I searched a little and found this SO article which recommends the use of System.Web.UrlEncodeUnicode and System.Web.UrlDecode.

But since UWP Apps doesn't include the System.Web namespace I was wondering if there is an alternative to this methods, which I can use into a UWP-App?

回答1:

Uri.EscapeDataString() and Uri.UnescapeDataString() will do the trick.

回答2:

Prefer System.Net.WebUtility.UrlDecode and System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode over the methods on Uri.

This is because WebUtility handles space ( ) and plus (+) consistently across both "multipart/form-data" and "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" encodings.
