.SH DESCRIPTION

This function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string and
|
|
|
|
|
returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
|
|

A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
|
|
|
|
|
two-digit hexadecimal number).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-09 07:27:47 -04:00

|
|
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP
|
|
|
|
|
uses strlen() on the input \fBurl\fP to find out the size.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
|
