I have been searching for a way to have curly brackets{} and slashes / in the URL. But the URL looks like this:
URL appearance now:
http://localhost/#/?ph=tes:testes%2Ftest%7Blb0%7D
URL wanted appearance:
http://localhost/#/?ph=tes:tests/test{lb0}
How do I get an URL without the %2f etc?
Thanks in advance!
All valid characters that can be used in a URI (a URL is a type of URI) are defined in RFC 3986.
All other characters can be used in a URL provided that they are "URL Encoded" first. This involves changing the invalid character for specific "codes" (usually in the form of the percent symbol (%) followed by a hexadecimal number).
This link, HTML URL Encoding Reference, contains a list of the encodings for invalid characters.
Happy Helping!
These (%2F, %7B) are escape sequences. They represent the special characters that are in your URL, as a URL cannot contain these character directly.
Where do you want exactly to process this URL?
You can use Javascript's unescape(url) to get the escaped URL string back to the original one if you're going to process it in Javascript itself.

My react app seems to be automatically decoding %25 to a %, however I need it to stay as %25.
Let's say I have a route that looks like the below. The route has a param which is a string containing an encoded url.
https://mywebsite.com/{encoded_url_string}
As an example, let's say the unencoded url string is:
https://urlparam.com/public/?test=c%3Dvalue
Which, encoded, would become
https%3A%2F%2Furlparam.com%2Fpublic%2F%3Ftest%3Dc%253Dvalue
So the full route would look like this:
https://mywebsite.com/https%3A%2F%2Furlparam.com%2Fpublic%2F%3Ftest%3Dc%253Dvalue
My issue is that when I grab this param (using the query-string library) from the URL, and try to write it to my page, instead of literally being:
https%3A%2F%2Furlparam.com%2Fpublic%2F%3Ftest%3Dc%253Dvalue
Which is exactly as it is in the URL param, I'm getting:
https%3A%2F%2Furlparam.com%2Fpublic%2F%3Ftest%3Dc%3Dvalue
Notice that the last bit in the first one is "test%3Dc %25 3Dvalue" (ignore the spaces, StackOverflow won't let me bold without it), while the second one is just test%3Dc%3Dvalue (missing the %25)
Any ideas why the %25 is being decoded to a simple %? Any way to prevent that?
Hi does react router params automatically decodes string?
For example i have this route
<Route path="/callback/:url"/>
and when I call it with C5jb20%3D
it will print C5jb20= when I console.log() that parameters
Is this an expected behavior? Can I change this behavior so that I still get the encoded string?
Thanks!
C5jb20%3D is a URL encoded string, which is a way to encode special characters in a URL. For example, if you have a URL parameter like ?redirect=/some/path, a server could interpret the forward slashes as routing paths, and mess up the expected routing. That's why you see things like ?redirect=%2Fsome%2Fpath, and your example, in URLs.
window.location.path will have the original, unencoded URL.
You could also get it back with encodeURIComponent:
encodeURIComponent('C5jb20=') // "C5jb20%3D"
You probably don't want to, though, depending on your use case.
I am building in invite/registration form for my site. The idea is that one user invites another user, which sends a code with a url to register with. The problem is that the code can have an encoded backslash in it. When that encoded backslash is processed in Angular, it seems to get decoded and ends up busting the routing.
http://localhost:54464/ang/register/owi0%2fCQCrjzBcwqEORVVHhrICIANGKxtxMJ2Kh91y%2bNhhB%2br06appZzEVPhpkP2C
becomes:
http://localhost:54464/ang/register/owi0/CQCrjzBcwqEORVVHhrICIANGKxtxMJ2Kh91y+NhhB+r06appZzEVPhpkP2C
How can I stop this behavior?
Try using a route like:
/register/*code
The code will contain the string with the slashes

It is typically used for path-like url arguments...but I don't see why this wouldn't work for your case.
I'm using Jsoup to connect to a URL with a space in it but keep getting a URI syntax error. Any ideas on how deal with this?
Thanks!!
You should percent-encode URLs. Space is represented as %20.
Additionally, some characters/symbols are used as delimiters in URLs (&, ?, =, etc.) and thus they cannot be put in the URL unless they are meant as delimiters. For example, if you wanted to pass the string "1 &1" I would have to encode it as "1%20%261" or else it will not parse properly.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding for more details.
URLs cannot have spaces, by RFC1738 (section 2.2): http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
For some additional background on how to handle this, see: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
In particular, one mechanism for encoding URLs can be found at:

I'm trying to have a mailto: body with multiple paragraphs and a URL. I should probably note this is for a mobile web application.
Is there a reason why I can't use \n (even inside JavaScript strings) for new lines? Instead, I'm using %0D%0A.
I'd like to enclose my URL in <>'s so email clients can properly identify it as a URL, but when I try to do that the entire URL doesn't show up at all in the body. Is it being escaped, or something? How do I fix this/use <>'s to wrap it?
Thanks!
have you tryed encoding the values with javascript?
eg
<a href="demo#email.com?subject='+encodeURI('emailSubject')+'&body='+encodeURI('emailBody')+'">
