Description

Attention: HTTPEncode is deprecated. Please use System.NetEncoding.TURLEncoding.

Converts a string into a form that contains no values that are illegal in an HTTP message header.

HTTPEncode converts all characters in the AStr parameter except for the letters A through Z (and a through z), numerals 0 through 9, the asterisk (*), dollar sign ($), exclamation point (!), at sign (@), period (.), underscore (_), single quote ('), parentheses, and hyphen (-). Spaces are converted to plus characters (+), and all other characters are converted into hex values preceded by the percent sign (%).

For example, the string

% ?

is converted into

%%+%3f

HTTPEncode returns the converted string.
