libcURL.URLEncode

#libcURL.URLEncode

##Method Signature

 Protected Function URLEncode(Data As String, Optional EasyItem As libcURL.EasyHandle) As String

##Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
Data	String	The string to encode
EasyItem	EasyHandle	Optional. An easy handle to use

##Return value The encoded string.

##Remarks This method provides access to the curl_easy_escape function of libcURL; modern versions of REALbasic and Xojo provide the EncodeURLComponent method which should be preferred over this method.

curl_easy_escape needs a curl_easy handle to encode data. If EasyItem is not Nil, then the EasyItem is used; otherwise a new EasyHandle is constructed.

##Requirements This function is available from libcurl-7.15.4. Calling this method in earlier versions will raise a cURLException with error number libcURL.Errors.FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE (-4).
