Problem with urlencode conversion

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

sorry for this question, but I was looking on Google and probably I'm working with wrong key words, cause I cannot find any help for my problem.

In my example I'm working with 1 special letter but it can be any "non ASCII" letter from UNICODE table.

Novák is name of author of the book.

I'm sending some http request by POST method to ALEPH server (it is library system).

http://www.mysite.com/X?op=find&&request=wau=novák&base=xxx01

Important part of my question is the letter á (czech letter): request=wau= novák.

Now I need to send it in this form: request=wau= nov%c3%a1k

but after conversion by

 lv_string = cl_http_utility=>escape_url( i_uri ).

.

I've got that result: lv_string = nov%e1k.

The same result I've got with FM WWW_URLENCODE

How I can get the HEX code with percents into my http request please?

Thanks a lot for any help

Hello Petr!

You can create a custom FM like 'ZWWW_URLENCODE' with the same code of the original. And force the variable :

gui_codepage to '4110'.

Extract of the code :

* if we have a unicode codepage use utf-8
  IF gui_codepage EQ '4103' OR gui_codepage EQ '4102' OR
     gui_codepage EQ '4101' OR gui_codepage EQ '4100'.
    gui_codepage = '4110'.
  ENDIF.

*Begin Modification Petr
    gui_codepage = '4110'.
*End Modification Petr

* create a converter object using the frontend codepage
  encode = gui_codepage.
  conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = encode ).

This will convert the URL to UTF-8.. so novák will be nov%c3%a1k.

Best Regards.
