Re: Re: FLASH: Load Variables without URL encoding

[Sven Haiges]

Hi Redstar,


I am using spaces as well as some special characters: : / ? for example:


aktuell=Come and drink a coffee.&url=http://www.flavor.de


This is not exactly the line I am using, but very similar.


But OK, I see that it is better to use URLencoding. If I will have the

text-file written via CGI, I do not even have to transform the data, because it

is already URLencoded (and so it is less work).


thanx,

sven
