Frequently asked questions
Component or full URL?
Component encoding (encodeURIComponent) also encodes / ? & = and is right for query values. Full URL encoding keeps those characters so the URL still works.
Why do spaces become + sometimes?
HTML forms encode spaces as +. Turn on 'Spaces as +' when working with form-encoded data.
What does malformed URI mean?
A % sign must be followed by two hex digits. A stray % makes the text impossible to decode.
