URL-encoded Strings
Data is passed from browser to server as a single string in the form:
name1=val1&name2=val2&name3=val3&...
|
with no spaces and where '=' and '&'
are treated as special characters.
To achieve this strings are "url-encoded" e.g.
andrewt |
andrewt |
John Shepherd |
John+Shepherd |
~andrewt = /home/andrewt |
%7Eandrewt+%3D+%2Fhome%2Fandrewt |
1 + 1 = 2 |
1+%2B+1+%3D+2 |
Jack & Jill = Love! |
Jack+%26+Jill+%3D+Love%21 |
Data values are decoded before script uses them
(WYSIWYG).

![[next]](icon/next.gif){kind=icon}
