now on the mainframe8 scriptserver: url decoding

the mainframe8 scriptserver now hosts a new feature – an url decoder. what does it do?

the URL decoder decyphers / converts an urlencoded string online. URL encoding is better known as percent-encoding and is used to encode Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). It is referenced in RFC2396. Basically url encoding replaces spaces with “+” signs, and certain ASCII characters with “%” followed by their hexadecimal equivalent. These type of strings are usually used when a browser sends form data to a web server. Here you can decode them back to human readable strings.

an url encoding feature will follow soon. as well as a browser integration using opensearch.
