Syntax

Parameters of URLs must be encoded value by value.

codepage A string with the name of the target codepage.
LITERAL String literal.
Examples

set escaped = concat("http://www.e2e.ch/?name=", escapeURI("Müller", "iso-8859-1")); 
The string escaped will have the value http://www.e2e.ch/?name=M%fcller .
