Class HttpUtility

This utility class is a light-weight implementation of the now deprecated HttpUtility class. Was made for backward compatibility in terms of UrlEncode(String, Encoding) and UrlDecode(String, Encoding).

Inheritance

System.Object

HttpUtility

Namespace: Cuemon.Web

Assembly: Cuemon.Web.dll

Syntax

public static class HttpUtility

Remarks

Kudos to the mono-project team for this class. I only modified some of the original code to fit into this class. For the original code, have a visit here for the source code: https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/System.Web/System.Web/HttpUtility.cs or here for the mono-project website: http://www.mono-project.com/.

UrlEncodeToBytes(Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Converts an array of bytes into a URL-encoded array of bytes, starting at the specified position in the array and continuing for the specified number of bytes.

Declaration

public static byte[] UrlEncodeToBytes(byte[] bytes, int offset, int count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
