URL Decode

Demonstrates how to URL decode a string. Classic ASP

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<%
success = 0

set sb = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

'  Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
success = sb.Append("%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg")

'  Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
'  See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
'  For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

'  Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
'  to get characters.

'  Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
success = sb.Decode("url","utf-8")

'  sb now contains the decoded string.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sb.GetAsString()) & "</pre>"
