urlencode

URLENCODE(1)							  GridSite Manual						      URLENCODE(1)

NAME

       urlencode - convert strings to or from URL-encoded form

SYNOPSIS

       urlencode [-m|-d] string [string ...]

DESCRIPTION

       urlencode encodes strings according to RFC 1738.

       That is, characters A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ and - are passed through unmodified, but all other characters are represented as %HH, where HH is their
       two-digit    upper-case	  hexadecimal	 ASCII	  representation.     For    example,	 the	URL    http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/    becomes
       http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gridpp.ac.uk%2F

       urlencode  converts  each character in all the strings given on the command line. If multiple strings are given, they are concatenated with
       separating spaces before conversion.

OPTIONS

       -m     Instead of full conversion, do GridSite "mild URL encoding" in which A-Z a-z 0-9 . = - _ @ and / are passed through unmodified. This
	      results  in  slightly more human-readable strings but the application must be prepared to create or simulate the directories implied
	      by any slashes.

       -d     Do URL-decoding rather than encoding, according to RFC 1738. %HH and %hh strings are  converted  and  other  characters  are  passed
	      through unmodified, with the exception that + is converted to space.

EXIT CODES

       0 is always returned.
