Cos'è la codifica URL?
L'URL encoding converte determinati caratteri speciali sfuggendoli per mezzo del simbolo percentuale seguito da due valori esadecimali.
Esempi Classici
- Spazio → %20: Necessario in link di file Spaces in URLs become %20 or +
- & → %26: Se impiegato in query multiple Ampersand is encoded to avoid
confusion with query separators
- = → %3D: Associa equamente parità o valori in base al formato Equals sign is encoded in values to
prevent parsing issues
- / → %2F: Le barre oblique divisorie Forward slash encoded when it's part
of a value, not a path separator
Converts special URL characters to percent-encoded format ensuring valid URLs with spaces, Unicode, and special characters.
Key Facts
- Defined in RFC 3986
- Space: %20 or + in forms
- Max URL length ~2048 chars in most browsers
- Unicode is first UTF-8 encoded, then percent-encoded
