C#/.NET: GETting a URL with an url-encoded slash
I want to send a HTTP GET to http://example.com/%2F. My first guess would be something like this: using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient()) { webClient.DownloadData("http://example.com/%2F"); } Unfortunately, I can see that what is actually sent on the wire is: GET // HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Connection: Keep-Alive So http:...

In ASP.NET, is there any way to get the real raw URL? For example, if a user browse to "http://example.com/mypage.aspx/%2F", I would like to be able to get "http://example.com/mypage.aspx/%2F" rather than "http://example.com/mypage.aspx//". I would of course like a clean way to do it, but I can live with a hacky approach using reflecti...

This means that we need UTF-8 encoded URLs to support every alphabet under the sun. We would also not like to have to provide installation configuration documentation for every application server and...
is it almost a standard that web applications assume the query string to be in UTF-8?
when we type in or paste it to a browser's address bar: http://www.google.com/search?q=%E5%A4%A9 i think there is no way to tell whether the encoding is UTF-8 or any other encoding, so the application will usually assume it is UTF-8. So is it entirely up to the app to interpret it as whatever encoding it wants to or assumes to be? (f...

Asp.net: path encoding
I have an image gallery that I created by reading the contents inside a directory. Now right away I noticed a problem when there was a "+" in the filename. Like "glas + door.jpg" would break. So I thought it was an encoding problem and since it was only the "+" sign I thought that replacing the "+" with "%2b" would solve the problem. Loc...
