TNetEncoding.URL.Decode question

[ioan 45]

I'm using TNetEncoding.URL.Encode to encode the following string:

E+C1NU0Z0ikcOdZF158VAypoEl4nc9bTokltVV+PkfPeO3/6pmZTRo3h17SC+x6SdK4qIrNnWv3rd9RGnQ==

 

The result is:

E%2BC1NU0Z0ikcOdZF158VAypoEl4nc9bTokltVV%2BPkfPeO3%2F6pmZTRo3h17SC%2Bx6SdK4qIrNnWv3rd9RGnQ%3D%3D

Trying to use TNetEncoding.URL.Decode doesn't get me back to the original string, what am I doing wrong?

not sure..

 

procedure TMainFrm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
aStr,eStr,origStr:String;
begin

origStr:='E+C1NU0Z0ikcOdZF158VAypoEl4nc9bTokltVV+PkfPeO3/6pmZTRo3h17SC+x6SdK4qIrNnWv3rd9RGnQ==';
memDisplay.Lines.Insert(0,'Orig:'+origStr);
eStr:=tNetEncoding.URL.Encode(origStr);
memDisplay.Lines.Insert(0,'Encoded:'+eStr);
aStr:=tNetEncoding.URL.Decode(eStr);
memDisplay.Lines.Insert(0,'Decoded:'+aStr);
if aStr=origStr then
  memDisplay.Lines.Insert(0,'Equal')
    else
      memDisplay.Lines.Insert(0,'Differ');

end;

this seems to be equal..

Yeah, I tried a simple application just to test and it does work, but in my service doesn't.

Yes, I tried in a simple application and it does work. The problem is that in my service (IntraWeb service) doesn't:

looking at the pic, looks like LUserID was encoded not decoded, strange..

 

maybe try saving id into LUserID and Decode LUserID.

it's double encoded

 

"=" = "%3D"

"%3D" = "%253D"

lol, small little squiggles, only looked at LUserID, sorry.. 🙂

yeah, input is wrong, should match the encoded, no??

 

just one more decode and you got it..

or maybe hunt down extra encode..

You right! That was it, thank you! I was losing my mind 🙂

IntraWeb is built on top of Indy, and Indy has its own URL encoder/decoder (the TIdURI class).
