; This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Create a URL with URL-encoded query params.
$oSbUrl = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$oSbUrl.Append("https://www.example.com/something?")

; If we know a query param value does not have any special chars requiring URL encoding,
; just add it.  In this case, there is no need to URL encode "123" because "123" url encoded is still just "123".
