Request Parameters
In the example above, the space character is encoded as “% 20”. URL encoding is normally done by the HTTP client, so you don’t have to do it manually. There are however some situations where manual URL encoding is necessary, for example if you build your own URL string in a script. For that purpose Structr provides the urlencode() built-in function. In a Javascript context, the global functions encodeURI() and encodeURIComponent() exist.
