.net UrlEncode - lowercase problem

Question

I\'m working on a data transfer for a gateway which requires me to send data in UrlEncoded form. However, .net\'s UrlEncode creates lowercase tags, and it breaks the transfe

Answer 1

Replace the lowercase percent encoding from HttpUtility.UrlEnocde with a Regex:

static string UrlEncodeUpperCase(string value) {
    value = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value);
    return Regex.Replace(value, "(%[0-9a-f][0-9a-f])", c => c.Value.ToUpper());
}

var value = "SomeWords 123 #=/ äöü";

var encodedValue = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value);
// SomeWords+123+%23%3d%2f+%c3%a4%c3%b6%c3%bc

var encodedValueUpperCase = UrlEncodeUpperCase(value);
// now the hex chars after % are uppercase:
// SomeWords+123+%23%3D%2F+%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC
