Hi,
is there any convenient way of escaping a URL so that it can be passed to CURLOPT_URL?
I've seen that there is a curl_easy_escape() function but it will escape the whole URL, i.e. including the :// used to separate scheme and host. Escaping this URL
http://jpv.amigaaa.com/test/url test/test%file.txt
using curl_easy_escape() will result in
http%3A%2F%2Fjpv.amigaaa.com%2Ftest%2Furl%20test%2Ftest%25file.txt
But I can't pass that URL to CURLOPT_URL because something seems to confuse CURLOPT_URL here, maybe the fact that the :// is escaped into %3A%2F%2F or the fact that the path separating slashes are escaped into %2F. I can get it to work by manually tweaking the URL like this:
http://jpv.amigaaa.com/test/url%20test/test%25file.txt
So I was wondering: Is there any way to escape a URL for passing it to CURLOPT_URL? Or how am I supposed to deal with this?
