HTTP Request send literal %2B	Can't Post

Hi Guys,

I am doing a POST to another server using HTTP::REQUEST and I am sendin an XML string that have in some text node this string: Ws%2BsuHG7Xqk01RaIxm2L/w1L

As you can see the string have %2B and that represents the plus (+) sign in the URL ENCODE and when i do the post the string is converted to: Ws+suHG7Xqk01RaIxm2L/w1L

I can't find a way to send literal %2B... Does any body knows how to do this.

I apreciate your help.

Thanks

welcho

Use the module URI::Escape or you can roll your own solution to escape the text as well.

Code

use URI::Escape qw(uri_escape); 
 
my $text = 'Ws%2BsuHG7Xqk01RaIxm2L/w1L'; 
print uri_escape($text);

Code

sub url_escape { 
	my $text = shift; 
	$text =~ s/([^a-z0-9._-~])/sprintf "%%%02X", ord($1)/egi; 
	$text =~ tr/ /+/; 
	return $text; 
}
