Well yes, however, I suspect that the &quot;.&quot; (dot) is not encoded and my question is really about what IS and what is NOT encoded using HTTP. Using your algorithm, the &quot;.&quot; would be encoded as hex string, because it is neither a character nor a digit, where it really should not be encoded.<br />

That depends!!<br />
<br />
I have seen browsers that encode everything, and some that don't.<br />
<br />
Let me check the algorithms I have (some written by me, some downloaded) and I'll send them to you ok?<br />

As has been said you can encode more than you need. &nbsp;The ones that need to be encloded are defined in the http protocol specification.<br />

Greetings,<br />
<br />
I am writing a Unix program which submits some data using the HTTP protocol to a remote CGI script...<br />
I am in need of a C function which will encode a given string (so a CGI program can read it), but I am not sure exactly what should be encoded (i.e. I know all spaces become &quot;+&quot; and fields separated by &quot;&amp;&quot;, but don't which characters become hex encoded etc.)<br />
Can anyone provide a C function to Encode a given string?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
