URL Encoding in C: A Guide and Tutorial

Welcome to this guide and tutorial on URL encoding in C! In this post, we will explore how to encode a string in C to ensure its compatibility with URLs. URLs contain special characters that cannot be directly used in the web. URL encoding is the process of converting these characters into a format that can be safely transmitted and interpreted by browsers and servers. For example, converting a space character to “"%20"” or a plus sign to “"%2B”"....
