module Url:sig
..end
The following two functions perform the '%'-substitution for characters that may otherwise be interpreted as metacharacters.
According to: RFC 1738, RFC 1630
Option plus
: This option has been added because there are some
implementations that do not map ' ' to '+', for example Javascript's
escape
function. The default is true
because this is the RFC-
compliant definition.
There are no tstring and polymorphic versions of the encode and
decode functions, as URLs are comparatively short, and it is
considered as acceptable for the user to convert types as needed,
even if strings need to be copied for that.
val decode : ?plus:bool -> ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> string -> string
plus
: Whether '+' is converted to space. The default
is true. If false, '+' is returned as it is.
The optional arguments pos
and len
may restrict the string
to process to this substring.
val encode : ?plus:bool -> string -> string
plus
: Whether spaces are converted to '+'. The default
is true. If false, spaces are converted to "%20", and
only %xx sequences are produced.
The following two functions create and analyze URL-encoded parameters.
Format: name1=val1&name2=val2&...
val mk_url_encoded_parameters : (string * string) list -> string
val dest_url_encoded_parameters : string -> (string * string) list
