 Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 10:27 pm Post subject: Need help with decoding URL |
 |
|
I have an encoded string which I need to decode to present to the user.
The string is:
S1 = "php%253Fcmp";
I want to display
php?cmp
to the user. I have tried creating a URI object from this class, then
using getPath() from the object, but that gives me this output:
php%3Fcmp
I get the same output when I URLDecoder.decode to convert the string.
How do I get the correct format? Thanks for any help.

This is encoded twice. The "%" character has been (correctly) encoded as
"%25"

You'd need to decode twice because of the above.
First run you'll get php%3Fcmp and 2nd run you'll get php?cmp
