curl_escape(3) libcurl Manual curl_escape(3) NAME
curl_escape - URL encodes the given string SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> char *curl_escape( char *url, int length ); DESCRIPTION
Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_escape(3) instead! This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number). If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size. You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it. AVAILABILITY
Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This function will be removed in a future release. RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. SEE ALSO

curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *curl, char *url, int length ); DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string and returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '-', '.', '_' or '~' are converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal num- ber). If the length argument is set to 0 (zero), curl_easy_escape(3) uses strlen() on the input url to find out the size. You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you're done with it. AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old curl_escape(3) function. RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. SEE ALSO
