Hi,

is there any convenient way of escaping a URL so that it can be passed to 
CURLOPT_URL?

I've seen that there is a curl_easy_escape() function but it will escape the 
whole URL, i.e. including the :// used to separate scheme and host. Escaping 
this URL

   http://jpv.amigaaa.com/test/url test/test%file.txt

using curl_easy_escape() will result in

   http%3A%2F%2Fjpv.amigaaa.com%2Ftest%2Furl%20test%2Ftest%25file.txt

But I can't pass that URL to CURLOPT_URL because something seems to confuse 
CURLOPT_URL here, maybe the fact that the :// is escaped into %3A%2F%2F or the 
fact that the path separating slashes are escaped into %2F. I can get it to 
work by manually tweaking the URL like this:

   http://jpv.amigaaa.com/test/url%20test/test%25file.txt

So I was wondering: Is there any way to escape a URL for passing it to 
CURLOPT_URL? Or how am I supposed to deal with this?
