A quick simple question... given the following js code
if (window.XMLHttpRequest){
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
... IE stuff....
}
var params = "key=value& etc...";
xhr.open("POST", formUrl, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xhr.send(params);
Are the params good to go or should they be escaped for POST method?
e.g.
var params = "key="+ escape(value) +"& etc...";
The choosen content type (e.g. application/x-www-form-
urlencoded) requires encoding, with ECMAScript/Javascript I think using
encodeURIComponent(value)
is more suitable than
escape(value)
