Hi all,

What would be the best way to encode and optimally also compress a long
string with URL unsafe characters to be passed as a GET parameter?

Example string:

/search.ds?&what=hotel&where=antwerpen&when=&startingPageNumber=1&stageName=What%20search&originalOffset=1&expandWWWSearch=false&myplaces=false&activeRefinements=locality4..%3D..Antwerpen..%26..Antwerpen&distance=0&searchType=www&activeSort=-beyprandom1%20-beboost%20-boost3&phoneNumberSearch=false&debug=&excludeZone=false&alphaRefineable=AY52%7CBN18%7CCN30%7CDN53%7CEN10%7CFN16%7CGN10%7CHN56%7CIN9%7CJN3%7CKN10%7CLN8%7CMN23%7CNN7%7CON7%7CPN13%7CQN1%7CRN10%7CSN19%7CTN29%7CUN0%7CVN26%7CWN5%7CXN0%7CYN0%7CZN1%7C%5B0-9%5DN0&headingNumber=&adtype=xml.click&partnerId=&mfinfo.partner_id=&encodedRefinement=heading..%3D..%5EKoffiezetmachines%24..%26..Koffiezetmachines

(yes I know the example is an URL itself, but I need the entire string
to be passed as a GET parameter)
