I am working with SharePoint using http post request. My url contains '[' so I am getting some exception.
Does anybody knows how to send a Post or Get request if the url contains '[' or ']' character?

A:
Encode the brackets in the url so that [ becomes %5B and ] becomes %5D.
HTML URL Encoding Reference
If you are generating the URL from (.NET) code, use HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode().
string encodedUrl = "http://example.com/awesome.aspx?title="
+ HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode("Super & Delicious Program [v1]");
// "http://example.com/awesome.aspx?title=Super+%26+Delicious+Program+%5Bv1%5D"
The (roughly) equivalent method in JavaScript would be escape().

A:
If you're using PHP, try out htmlspecialchars. To decode use htmlspecialchars_decode.

I think Sharepoint rules out the use of PHP. In any case, for URLs, you would use urlencode / rawurlencode.

I suppose he could be using PHP to do posts against a sharepoint server... but he doesn't say he his, so it seems unlikely. Rawurlencode is generally the best route to go.
