URL Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates URL encoding and decoding. C++

#include <CkStringBuilder.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // To URL encoding a string:
    const char *s = "Why a > b?";

    CkStringBuilder sb;
    success = sb.Append(s);

    // URL encode the string.
    sb.Encode("url","utf-8");

    // Show the URL encoded string:
    const char *sEncoded = sb.getAsString();
    std::cout << sEncoded << "\r\n";

    // The result is:  Why%20a%20%3E%20b%3F

    // If you prefer "+" instead of "%20" for SPACE chars:
    int numReplaced = sb.Replace("%20","+");
    std::cout << sb.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    // Output is:   Why+a+%3E+b%3F

    // To decode:
    sb.Decode("url","utf-8");
    std::cout << sb.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    // Result is: Why a > b?
    }
