Re: FLASH: Load Variables without URL encoding

[RedStar]

Alias and Sven,


URLencoding establishes an identity mapping for a subset of the ASCII

set. [a-z], [A-Z] and [0-9] are kept as is, the space is transformed

into a plus sign and all other ASCII chars are converted to hex

representation with a leading % sign.

So in the case of Sven's text file this works just because he is :

-not using spaces

-not using ASCII chars outside the identity mapping

If any of these should happen then he would detect a failure.

URLencoding is a very simple procedure and it's best to be on the safe

side and use it instead of assuming that your data will be all in the

identity subset.
