NAME

       WebCommon::urlEncode - URL encode a string

SYNOPSIS

       String urlEncode( String x )

ARGUMENTS

       x The string to encode

DESCRIPTION

       URL  encode  a  string. You should use this to encode reserved characters in URLs that you
       wish to be passed literally.

    // trying to pass "http://www.example.com" as a parameter
    url = "http://localhost/test.cgi?url=";
    url += urlEncode("http://www.example.com");
    // url = http://localhost/test.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com

       Note that in the example above, encoding the whole URL would be  incorrect  -  that  would
       create a relative URL beginning "http://".
