Hernán,
From the class comment of ZnUrl:
[...]
The methods in accessing protocols do not do any encoding, those in
printing do.
[...]
Taking your example:
(ZnUrl fromString:
'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi%3Fdb%3Dnuccore%26term%3Dscience%5Bjournal%5D%2BAND%2Bbreast%2Bcancer%2BAND%2B2009%5Bpdat%5D')
pathSegments
an OrderedCollection('entrez' 'eutils'
'esearch.fcgi?db=nuccore&term=science[journal]+AND+breast+cancer+AND+2009[pdat]')
(ZnUrl fromString:
'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi%3Fdb%3Dnuccore%26term%3Dscience%5Bjournal%5D%2BAND%2Bbreast%2Bcancer%2BAND%2B2009%5Bpdat%5D')
path
'entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=nuccore&term=science[journal]+AND+breast+cancer+AND+2009[pdat]'
(ZnUrl fromString:
'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi%3Fdb%3Dnuccore%26term%3Dscience%5Bjournal%5D%2BAND%2Bbreast%2Bcancer%2BAND%2B2009%5Bpdat%5D')
printString
'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi%3Fdb%3Dnuccore%26term%3Dscience%5Bjournal%5D%2BAND%2Bbreast%2Bcancer%2BAND%2B2009%5Bpdat%5D'
If you inspect a ZnUrl instance you will notice that the internal Smalltalk
representation is unencoded. But its #printString and the argument to
#fromString: are. You could programmatically build up a ZnUrl using accessors
and supplying unencoded (path) elements.
HTH,
Sven
