libcurl Manual                                curl_easy_escape(3)



NAME
     curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *curl, char *url, int length

DESCRIPTION
     This function converts the given  input  string  to  an  URL
     encoded  string  and returns that as a new allocated string.
     All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9  are  con-
     verted  to  their  "URL  escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
     two-digit hexadecimal number).

     If   the   length   argument   is   set   to    0    (zero),
     curl_easy_escape(3)  uses  strlen() on the input url to find
     out the size.

     You must curl_free(3) the returned string when  you're  done
     with it.

AVAILABILITY
     Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the  old  curl_escape(3)  func-
     tion.

RETURN VALUE
     A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
