I have to send a GET request to my Apache server. Whenever the parameters have values that are just one words, things work smoothly. Whenever, there are spaces, I am changing them to %20 and it does the trick

However, whenever I have slashes in my parameter values, things do not work. For example, the URL I want to send to my server is:

https://randomness.com?path=/var/images/sub%20images/&name=image%2001.jpg

How can I get a workaround regarding this?

  • The error you are getting is? Any code you could share. Your starting your string with a " and ending with a `. – Jason K May 18 '17 at 20:50
  • Have you tried applying the same treatment to the slashes as you did the spaces? Encoding the special characters in your URL might help here. Try using `%2F` rather than `/`. – megubyte May 18 '17 at 20:51

Many characters are specifically interpreted by the web host in URLs and the / character is one of them.

You can translate your / characters to %2F, like you translate to %20.

PHP's urlencode function can also handle these translations for you automatically.

A handy reference for these encodings can be found here, should you wish to handle it manually.
