Okay Folks: Some of you are having your coffee and feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Me, I'm in the frozen North and at the end of a very short day but sleepy. Here's an attempt that would escape any none-url-acceptable char in the 'encode string. ; NOTE 'def is Andrew's 'fun/deep function esc-char: def[ch[char!]][ join "%" enbase/base to-string ch 16 ] url-str: def[str[string!]][ encode: "%&= " ; add any more from http rfc new-str: make string! (length? str) * 3 ; let's be generous repeat char str[ either found: find encode char [append new-str esc-char char] [append new-str char] ]new-str ] You think? Hack me up, it just gives me good code back! (But this really could be a native huh?) -tim- * Andrew Martin <[Al--Bri--xtra--co--nz]> [030105 19:19]:

Hi Tim the url-encode in the library handels it ... well it use to be in the lib under web ... now I am only seeing it being used in other peoples scripts, maybe it is being cleaned up by the library people

>> url-encode "Father & Son"

Hi Tom, TC> the url-encode in the library handels it ... well it use to be in the TC> lib under web ... now I am only seeing it being used in other peoples TC> scripts, maybe it is being cleaned up by the library people Our first pass on the library is more of a clean-up sweep, but I found it in HTTP-post (as the earliest reference) and will add it to my list of handy things people might want included.
