Method Protocols.HTTP.http_encode_string()

Method http_encode_string

string http_encode_string(string in)

Description

This is a deprecated alias for uri_encode, for compatibility with Pike 7.6 and earlier.

In 7.6 this function didn't handle 8-bit and wider chars correctly. It encoded 8-bit chars directly to %XX escapes, and it used nonstandard %uXXXX escapes for 16-bit chars.

That is considered a bug, and hence the function is changed. If you need the old buggy encoding then use the 7.6 compatibility version (#pike 7.6).

Deprecated

Replaced by uri_encode.
