Use \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP instead! + +This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and +return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, +A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a +two-digit hexadecimal number). + +If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the +input 'url' string to find out the size. + +You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it. +.SH AVAILABILITY +Since 7.15.4, \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP should be used. This function will +be removed in a future release. +.SH RETURN VALUE +A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR curl_unescape "(3), " curl_free "(3), " RFC 2396 |
