HTTP POST and URL-encoding

[Peter Fässberg]

Hi!

When using HTTP GET method the URL and its data parameters are correctly URL-encoded.

When using HTTP POST method the data isn't URL-encoded and I can't find any relevant settings.  I thought that setting Content type to "x-www-form-urlencoded" should do the trick, but it doesn't.

Is there a way to URL-encode the data using HTTP POST?

If you want to send URL-encoded content you can do it yourself with the Variable Convert action.

Because they are part of the URL...

When using HTTP POST method the data isn't URL-encoded

Why should it be ?

Thank you, I will look into that.

Because most form receivers suppose that the data is URL encoded.  

Here you are W3Cs recommendation: https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1

The second bullet gives me problem when transmitting the %WIFII variable as that can easily include an ampersand.  There are other variables at risk as well.  This is handled very well in the GET URL-encoding, and the same should apply if using POST and type x-www-form-urlencoded.
