Encoding parameters in URL

Wed Aug 29, 2012 3:35 pm

There are some cases when you are passing parameters via URL you need to encode the parameters values. Many languages have a built in function for URL encoding:
For Python:

Code:: import urllib print "Get URL : http://codemiles.com/test.py?password=%s" % (urllib.quote_plus(password))

For JavaScript:

Code:: var urlWithParam = "http://codemiles.com/index.php?password=" + encodeURIComponent(password);

For Perl:

Code:: use URI::Escape; $myURL = sprintf('http://codemiles.com/myPage.php?password=%s',uri_escape($password)); sub encodeParam { my $s = shift; $s =~ s/ /+/g; $s =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9\+-])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/seg; return $s; } $myURL = sprintf('http://codemiles.com/test.php?password=%s', encodeParam ($password)

For ASP.NET:

Code:: String nextPage; nextPage = "http://codemiles.com/index.php?password=" + Server.UrlEncode(password); Response.Write("<a href=" + nextPage + ">Submit Page</a>");

For PHP:

Code:: <?php print '<a href="://codemiles.com/index.php?password=', urlencode($passowrd), '">Next Page</a>'; ?>
