UTL_URL , 3 of 3
This function unescapes the escape character sequences to its original form in a URL, to convert the %XX
escape character sequences to the original characters.
FUNCTION unescape( url IN VARCHAR2, url_charset IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT utl_http.body_charset) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Table 84-3 shows the parameters for the UNESCAPE
function.
The Web server that you receive the URL from may use a character set that is different from that of your database. In that case, specify the url_charset as the Web server character set so that the characters that need to be unescaped are unescaped in the source character set. For example, a user of an EBCDIC database who receives a URL from an ASCII Web server should unescape the URL using US7ASCII
so that %20
is unescaped as a space (0x20 is the hex code of a space in ASCII) instead of a ?
(because 0x20 is not a valid character in EBCDIC).
This function does not validate a URL for the proper URL format.
