|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *" curl ", char *" string ", int "length " );"
|
|
.ad
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function converts the given input \fIstring\fP to a URL encoded string
|
|
and returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not
|
|
a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '-', '.', '_' or '~' are converted to their "URL escaped"
|
|
version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
|
|
|
|
If \fIlength\fP is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP uses strlen() on
|
|
the input \fIstring\fP to find out the size.
|
|
|
|
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_escape(3)\fP function.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
char *output = curl_easy_escape(curl, "data to convert", 15);
|
|
if(output) {
|
|
printf("Encoded: %s\n", output);
|
|
curl_free(output);
