URL Enconding
URL encoding (Percent Encoding) is a mechanism for converting URLs into an Internet-transmittable format.
It uses the UTF-8 encoding to transform the characters to bytes and substitutes unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" character followed by two hexadecimal digits. The two hexadecimal digits represent the unsafe character's numeric value.
There are reserved characters that have specific meanings and must be encoded.
Sample: / is a reserved character, it is used for URI path components. / is transformed to%2F.
How Does URL Encode Work?
All offending characters are replaced with a% and a two-digit hexadecimal value representing the character in the appropriate ISO character set. Here are a few examples:
- $ (Dollar Sign) becomes %24
- & (Ampersand) becomes %26
- + (Plus) becomes %2B
- , (Comma) becomes %2C
- : (Colon) becomes %3A
- ; (Semi-Colon) becomes %3B
- = (Equals) becomes %3D
- ? (Question Mark) becomes %3F
- @ (Commercial A / At) becomes %40
