Hello again,

I have found (what I believe) to be a bug in QueryVariables when parsing the http request into names and values. With the current model I think its impossible to transfer + (plus sign) in e.g. a php request.

for examples, string below:

uid=12&id=C 3A 5C-+- 5C

SHOULD correctly be encoded to:

uid=12&id=C:-+-

BUT is encoded to :

uid=12&id=C:-- (without the plus sign)

By the way: I would appreciate in future version if you can exposed the encoding/decoding functions for public calls. This would be handy for VB6 users:)

Regards,
Michael

This is a continuation on my previous post!

Sorry for being so confused,

1. On this page the decoding works as I expect:
http://netzreport.googlepages.com/online_tool_for_url_en_decoding.html

The + symbol is not removed!!

2. On this page (http://www.string-functions.com/urldecode.aspx) the coding is not working as expected: + symbol is replaced!

Hi Micke,

I'll check this out with our developers, but actually most of the online URLDecode engines i tried decode it exactly as we do.

I.e:

http://www.string-functions.com/urldecode.aspx
http://sqa.fyicenter.com/Online_Test_Tools/__Test_urldecode_PHP_Function.php

In fact, If I'm correct + character is reserved, and should be encoded into 2B . If you use that and request page with queryvariables such as uid=12&id=C 3A 5C- 2B- 5C you should receive an appropriate value.

Can you check that out?

Damba

My bad,

Right, + is reserved. After some checking on other forums I realize that an URL with + SHOULD not be a valid URL. Thus, the problem is NOT in your component but on the incoming side to the server.

Feel free to remove this thread from the forum.

Thanks!
Michael

...with WOD's excellent support I was able to bypass Winsock and focus on the task at hand...

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
