Special Character Handling
Using the REST service may require that you encode certain characters using the proper URL entities before adding them to a URL. Characters like spaces, slashes, ampersands, and others must be replaced by special codes, which usually consist of a percent sign followed by a two-digit hexadecimal number.
The following table shows the replacements for the most common characters.
Character | Encoding |
---|---|
Space | %20 or + |
* | %2A |
# | %23 |
& | %26 |
% | %25 |
$ | %28 |
+ | %2B |
, | %2C |
/ | %2F |
: | %3A |
; | %3B |
< | %3C |
= | %3D |
> | %3E |
? | %3F |
@ | %40 |
[ | %5B |
] | %5D |
~ | %7E |
