ICS.URLENCODE

Translates a string into x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Syntax

<ICS.URLENCODE        STR="string"
        [OUTPUT="output variable name"]/>

Parameters

STR (required)

The string to be encoded.

OUTPUT (optional)

Specifies an optional output variable. If this parameter is not specified, the output is streamed to the browser.

Description

The ics.urlencode tag returns the given string encoded into x-www-form-urlencoded format. The translation process is as follows:

• Alphanumeric characters remain the same.
• The special characters ".", "-", "*", and "_" remain the same.
• The space character " " is converted into a plus sign "+".
• All other characters are unsafe and are first converted into one or more bytes using the platform's encoding scheme. Then each byte is represented by the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the byte.

The behavior of this tag is identical to invoking the java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String) method inside a JSP scriptlet.

Error Numbers

There are no possible errno for this tag.

Example

The following line would print "text%2Fhtml".

<ICS.URLENCODE STR="text/html"/>
