Escaping ampersand in URL

Question

I am trying to send a GET message that contains strings with ampersands and can\'t figure how to escape the ampersand in the URL.

Example:

http://www         


        

Answer 1

You can use the % character to 'escape' characters that aren't allowed in URLs. See [RFC 1738].

A table of ASCII values on http://www.asciitable.com/.

You can see & is 26 in hexadecimal - so you need M%26M.
