The url (script) is not using urlencode at all since it is just outputting text as it is called by the webserver. If you add urlencode to what it is going to output, on the web page you get urlencoded output which is of no use and the phone gets basically gibberish.
In addition to that, it would assume that you have access/control to the url you are pointing at and could modify it's output. I would imagine that people point to many URL's where they have no control over its output. There is only one reference to linefeed in the user guide and it is related to the file command, not get-url. I know how to work around this without using get-url, I was just curious what others did to get around this apparent issue using the get-url function. > Maybe he needs to do two nested urlencodes: urlencode( urlencode( > "Hello\nWorld" ) ) because the first url-encoding gets decoded by Kannel? > > Shouldn't be neccesary, but wouldn't hurt to try ;) > > Regards, > > Alejandro > > On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 4:14 PM, Kevin Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >> Not sure if it makes a difference, but he is using get-url to get the >> contents of a webpage that is outputting linefeeds. >> >> The setup is something like: >> >> group = sms-service >> keyword = test >> get-url = "http://website/getcommands.php"; >> >> The result which is sent to the phone, doesn't have any linefeeds in it >> even though that webscript outputs them.
