Hi there! Does anybody here know how to encode a line break/carriage return in URL? Is this possible?

Thanks!

But, I think you cannot include a linebreak in a URL. Are you trying to pass a long string through a querystring ? If then you may try post method instead of get method.

You may replace carriage return with numm string as below.

replace(url, vbcrlf, "")

You can use trim() methode to trencate all the spaces

Hi lian_a,

I have seen a couple of your posts dealing with sending stuff through the QueryString.

Are you aware that you can also send information in the body of an HTTP request, using POST as the mechanism? When you do that, you won't be troubled by some of the limitations of the URL QueryString (like the size).

Just a thought. Of course you could have very valid reasons for using the QueryString exclusively, but I just wondered.

Cheers,

Actually...I need to pass a URL which will be used by another system. So the values in my text area must be appended to the url. I know that this may be risky but this is how the system works. I'm using the WinHTTPRequest object to see if the URL is correct or not. So is there a way to append a line break in the URL? If a white space is encoded as "%27", is there also a code for a line break? Thanks!

Why don't you try it out?

Create a very simple form that uses GET as the method. Add a textarea, add a submit button, view the page in your browser, type some stuff and hit the submit button.

I think the browser will pass an encoded linebreak/carriage return sequence.

I did that but then the line breaks aren't displayed in the receiving system. Anyway, thanks to all those who replied. I just found out that the line breaks aren't needed anymore.
