I think UrlEncode is exactly what you're after, isn't it?
from the docs:
Returns a string that has been transformed so that it can be posted
to an HTTP server as a URL.

I'm working on a stack that launches stacks from the web with 'go

I know there are certain characters that are illegal or unsafe in
URL strings. (See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738) These include
space, quote and a number of others. Most web browsers
automatically escape these characters for you, so, e.g., a space is
converted to '%20' before the browser sends the request to the server.
I'm about to start writing a function that checks a potential stack
URL for illegal and unsafe characters and converts them to escape
sequences, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if such a thing
already exists.
Am I right that there is no equivalent functionality built into
Rev? I know about URLEncode(), of course, but that serves a
different purpose--formatting strings for POSTing, rather than
formatting strings for retrieving files from a server (a GET
request?) Am I understanding this correctly?
A related issue is, are there characters that are disallowed as
filenames for rev stackfiles? I can't find any such list anywhere.
I suppose this would be determined by the host OS?
Thanks.
