libcurl Manual                                     curl_escape(3)



NAME
     curl_escape - URL encodes the given string

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     char *curl_escape( char *url, int length );

DESCRIPTION
     Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_escape(3) instead!

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

     If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use
     strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.

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

AVAILABILITY
     Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This func-
     tion will be removed in a future release.

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