URL encoding ?

 [1/7] from: jean:holzammer:faedv-n:bayern at: 24-Oct-2002 10:39


Hi, I'd like to encode a URL. URL: http://www.bla.org/cgi-bin/bla.cgi?a=1&b=xyz I tried:
>> mold to-url "http://www.bla.org/cgi-bin/bla.cgi?a=1&b=xyz"
== "http://www.bla.org/cgi-bin/bla.cgi?a=1&b=xyz" I need: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bla.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbla.cgi%3Fa%3D1%26b%3Dxyz mold to-url will only encode some (=E4=F6=FC...) special characters, but not all :( The encoded URL is to be passed as argument for a cgi-script ! http://abc.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi?id=7&title=sometext&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww .bla.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbla.cgi%3Fa%3D1%26b%3Dxyz Any ideas ?? Jean

Hi, Jean, No built in function will do this, at least to my knowledge. The following appears to work: url: "http://www.bla.org/cgi-bin/bla.cgi?a=1&b=xyz" replace/all url ":" "%3A" replace/all url "/" "%2F" replace/all url "?" "%3F" replace/all url "=" "%3D" replace/all url "&" "%26" url: to-url url ;== http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bla.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbla.cgi%3Fa%3D1%26b%3Dxyz The final to-url should catch all those other special characters, if any.

Hi Jean This is how Vanilla [ http://www.langreiter.com/space/Vanilla ] does it: opt-in: charset " *-.1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" url-encode: make function! [ str[string!] /re ] [ if re [ insert opt-in "%:/&=" ] rslt: make string! ( (length? str ) * 3 ) foreach chr str [ either ( find opt-in chr ) [append rslt to-string (either(chr == #" ")["+"][chr]) ] [append rslt join "%" [back back tail(to-string(to-hex(to-integer chr)))] ] ] rslt ]
>> url-encode "http://www.bla.org/cgi-bin/bla.cgi?a=1&b=xyz"

My bad... Thanks for the reminder. I have too much commented code these days, so I keep my comment color scheme turned way down. That's how I stupidly missed the credit line sitting right above url-encode function in vanilla/apps/simplespace.r cheers ./Jason
