HTTP GET with utf-8 URL Encoded Query Params

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to build URLs where query param values can be either URL encoded from the utf-8 representation, or from another charset such as windows-1252.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

React Native

import { Http, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // We have the string "MÆRSK".

  // This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
  const nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = 'M%C6RSK';

  const sb1 = new StringBuilder();
  sb1.decodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded, 'url', 'windows-1252');

  const http = new Http();

  // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the utf-8 representation that is URL encoded.
  // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%C3%A6RSK

  const sbUrl = new StringBuilder();

  sbUrl.append('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=');
  sbUrl.append(sb1.getEncoded('url', 'utf-8'));
  console.log(sbUrl.getAsString());

  let responseBody = await http.quickGetStrAsync(sbUrl.getAsString());

  // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the windows-1252 representation that is URL encoded.
  // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%E6RSK

  sbUrl.clear();
  sbUrl.append('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=');
  sbUrl.append(sb1.getEncoded('url', 'windows-1252'));
  console.log(sbUrl.getAsString());

  responseBody = await http.quickGetStrAsync(sbUrl.getAsString());
