I want to encode a string that will be used as a GET data parameter
but the algorithm I have can produce the characters "/", "+" and "="
in addition to alphanumeric characters. Those characters don't have a
named entity in my HTML text book so I believe they can be used
without further encoding. Can they? In other words, is the URL
<http://example.com?myparam=four/two+3=5> valid? For extra credit :),
where should I have looked to find the definitive answer to this
question?
