escape_string

Description:

public string escape_string (string unescaped, string? reserved_chars_allowed = null, bool allow_utf8 = true)

Escapes a string for use in a URI.

Normally all characters that are not "unreserved" (i.e. ASCII alphanumerical characters plus dash, dot, underscore and tilde) are escaped. But if you specify characters in reserved_chars_allowed they are not escaped. This is useful for the "reserved" characters in the URI specification, since those are allowed unescaped in some portions of a URI.

Parameters:

unescaped	the unescaped input string.
reserved_chars_allowed	a string of reserved characters that are allowed to be used, or null.
allow_utf8	true if the result can include UTF-8 characters.

Returns:

an escaped version of unescaped. The returned string should be freed when no longer needed.
