Hello:
The UrlEncode function is to encode strings to be included in URLs, by
escaping any invalid characters, not to encode complete URLs. You can
encode a complete URL, for example, when you want to send that URL as a
parameter in the QueryString, but this is not what you want to do:
http://www.foo.com/bar.cgi?
url=http%3A%2F%2Fuser%3Apass%40www%2Esite%2Ecom%3A80%2Ffol%201%2Ffol%202
%2Ffile%201%2Ejpg%3Fpar%3D1%23name
What you must do in your case, is to encode each part that potentially
contains invalid characters, for example, directory or file names, or
parameter names and values. You want to encode them individually,
otherwise valid characters, such as '/' in paths and '=' or '&' in
parameters, will be wrongly encoded. For example:
url := 'http://'+user+':'+pass+'@'+site+':'+port;
newurl := url
+ '/' + UrlEncode(folder1)
+ '/' + UrlEncode(folder2)
+ '/' + UrlEncode(filename)
+ '?' + UrlEncode(key[1]) + '=' + UrlEncode(value[1])
+ '&' + UrlEncode(key[2]) + '=' + UrlEncode(value[2]);
// Add the anchor
If Anchor <> '' Then
newUrl := newUrl + '#' + Anchor;
End
