I have a scenario where I have to pass
https://domain/sample?sysparm_query=abc/def&sysparm_display_value=true
in postman. However I am not getting the desired answer. I even tried encoding / with %2F, but does not work.
I don't see any problems with that character.

trying to hit a public endpoint that works in the browser(gives json response), But does not in curl.
curl https://yts.lt/api/v2/list_movies.json?query_term=tt11296058
It gives the following message
no matches found: https://yts.lt/api/v2/list_movies.json?query_term=tt11296058
Not sure what could be the issue here, any input would be appreciated.
It may be due to do with what shell you are using. Try wrapping the URL in single or double quotes as suggested here.
Here is the quote from the above link discussing ZSH.
You need to escape the question mark, otherwise zsh thinks it is a globbing or wildcard character and tries to find files that match it (that's why it says no matches found).
I am using plsql to send some http requests to a REST service. Part of the request is some plain text user data which can contain any character. I need to escape characters such as #, &, ? etc. How can I escape non safe url characters such as these? I do not own the code so I can't use third party libraries.
Have you looked at UTL_URL.ESCAPE function?
Basically, the package UTL_URL has two functions that provide escape and unescape mechanisms for URL characters. Use the escape function to escape a URL before the URL is used fetch a Web page by way of the UTL_HTTP package. Use the unescape function to unescape an escaped URL before information is extracted from the URL.
For example:
SELECT UTL_URL.ESCAPE('http://www.acme.com/a url with space.html') FROM DUAL;
returns:
http://www.acme.com/a%20url%20with%20space.html
More examples here
You can also use it partially:
SELECT 'http://www.acme.com/search?check=' || UTL_URL.ESCAPE('some data'); FROM DUAL;
All the URLs ending with % is giving following error
"Bad Request,Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand."
I have redesigned my website and earlier as per my google analytics URLs ending with % was running.
I want to mention that I tried using same old htaccess but was not able to fix it. Other important change which I made was in hosting where I have pointed my server into a sub folder or the root.
Please help me in fixing it
% is a reserved character and should not be used for anything except percent encoding.
If you really need to pass the character on your url, use %25
Try this: 400 Bad Request when URL ends with %
(move your mouse over it and look at the URL, it's the URL of this page with a % added to it!)
The problem is probably that the % is used as an escape character for special signs like spaces or non latin characters, and the browser expects a code behind it.
I am trying to take a string like "Hello my name is Nick" and transform it to "Hello+my+name+is+Nick" to be passed through a URL. This would be easily done by replacing all the spaces with a + char however I also need to replace all special characters (. , ! &) with their ASCII values. I have searched the net but cannot find anything. I wonder if anyone knows of existing code to do this as its a fairly common task?
I think you're looking for this: HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method (String)
Handles non-URL compliant characters and spaces.
I am encoding white spaces in a string using
[#"iPhone Content.doc" stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
in SKPSMTP message sending. But while receiving mail at attachments place I am getting the name iPhone%20Content.doc - instead of a space it shows %20. How can this be avoided / correctly encoded?
If you're doing stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding then you're going to get percent signs in your result string... You can either use something different, or go back through and remove the percent signs later.
From the doc:
stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: Returns a representation of
the receiver using a given encoding to determine the percent escapes
necessary to convert the receiver into a legal URL string.
aka, "this method adds percent signs". If you want to reverse this process, use stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding
Just a side note, %20 is there because the hex representation of the space character is 20 and the % sign is an escape. You only need to do this for URLs, as they disallow the use of whitespace characters.
I got solution for my question. Actually am missed to set the "" to a string.
Of course the remote receiver can not accept the url with whitespace, so we must convert the URL address using the stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding function.
This function replaces spaces in the URL expression with %20. It is especially useful when the URL contains non-ascii characters - you have use the function to percent-escape the URL so that the remote server can accept your request.
