URL encoding in HTTP

HTTP URLs can only be sent via the Internet by using ASCII character sets , which often contain characters outside the ASCII character set. Therefore unsafe characters must be swapped with a% followed by two hexadecimal digits.

The table below shows the ASCII symbols of their characters and replacements that can be used in the URL before passing it to the Server.
