Replace encoded characters in URL

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have the following requirement and I don't know how to solve it in the best way.

I have a Z transaction for uploading a local file. This file contains URL's and after upload, there are stored in SAP.

I need to check this URL and replace encoded characters with corresponding codes, for example: space -> %20

How can I do this? I've been looking for a solution, but I haven't found anything usefull yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Have a look at class CL_HTTP_UTILITY. There are some methods which looks promising.

The method ESCAPE_URL is waht you needed.

pass UNESCAPED = 'http://forums.sdn.sap.com/edit!default.jspa?messageID=11060123'

output = HTTP%3a%2f%2fFORUMS%2eSDN%2eSAP%2eCOM%2fEDIT%21DEFAULT%2eJSPA%3fMESSAGEID%3d11060123

& for vice versa use UNESCAPE_URL
