What would the difference be between:
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("some string with é and β and stuff")
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("some string with é and β and stuff", Encoding.UTF8)
HttpUtility.UrlEncode( "some string with é and β and stuff", Encoding.Default )
result being:
some+string+with+%c3%a9+and+%ce%b2+and+stuff
some+string+with+%c3%a9+and+%ce%b2+and+stuff
some+string+with+%e9+and+%df+and+stuff
When testing, I get the same result for the first two, so can i safely assume that UTF8 is the default unless specified, or can that differ on different systems?
I have seene examples of unicode escape sequences that looks like this:
%u00e9 (é)
Fairly certain that paypal sends that in their IPN-requests. Why doesn't .NET encode like that?
