Oct 27, 2009as the aforementioned rfc does not include any reference of encoding spaces as +, i guess using %20 is the way to go today. For example, "%20" is the percent-encoding for the binary. Sometimes the spaces get url encoded to the + sign, and some other times to %20.
What is the difference and why should this happen? @metabyter i think it is more technically correct to phrase the question as "in a url, should i encode the spaces using %20 or + in the query part of a url?" because while the example you show. Apr 18, 2013311 a bit of explaining as to what that %2520 is :
The common space character is encoded as %20 as you noted yourself. The % character is encoded as %25. Dec 16, 2012i am interested in knowing why '%20' is used as a space in urls, particularly why %20 was used and why we even need it in the first place.
Since it's not mentioned anywhere in the grammar, the only way to encode a space is with percent-encoding (%20). In fact, the rfc even states that spaces are delimiters and should be ignored: Jul 7, 2009depending on your point of view, that's not quite correct.
%20 represents a space, but Represents a non-breaking space, technically a separate character. So even if it were a good.
Oct 4, 2009how do i replace all the spaces with %20 in c#? Asked 16 years, 4 months ago modified 1 year, 4 months ago viewed 142k times May 29, 2025after upgrading from sql server management studio (ssms) v20 to ssms v21, the "integration services catalogs"
Steps to reproduce upgrade ssms. The output transformation you need (spaces to %20, forward slashes to %2f) is called url encoding. It replaces (escapes) characters that have a special meaning when part of a url with their hex.
