HTTP GET with utf-8 URL Encoded Query Params

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to build URLs where query param values can be either URL encoded from the utf-8 representation, or from another charset such as windows-1252.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // We have the string "MÆRSK".

  // This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
  final nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = 'M%C6RSK';

  final sb1 = CkStringBuilder();
  sb1.decodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded, 'url', 'windows-1252');

  final http = CkHttp();

  // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the utf-8 representation that is URL encoded.
  // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%C3%A6RSK

  final sbUrl = CkStringBuilder();

  sbUrl.append('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=');
  sbUrl.append(sb1.getEncoded('url', 'utf-8'));
  print(sbUrl.getAsString());

  var responseBody = http.quickGetStr(sbUrl.getAsString());

  // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the windows-1252 representation that is URL encoded.
  // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%E6RSK

  sbUrl.clear();
  sbUrl.append('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=');
  sbUrl.append(sb1.getEncoded('url', 'windows-1252'));
  print(sbUrl.getAsString());

  responseBody = http.quickGetStr(sbUrl.getAsString());
