#include <curl/curl.h> char *curl_escape(const char *url, int length);
curl_escape(3) libcurl Manual curl_escape(3) NAME curl_escape - URL encodes the given string SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> char *curl_escape(const 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 lengthf argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the input url string to find out the size. You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you are done with it. EXAMPLE char *output = curl_escape("data to convert", 15); if(output) { printf("Encoded: %s\n", output); curl_free(output); } 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 null-terminated string or NULL if it failed.
