escapeURI() Operation

anEscapedString = aString.escapeURI(codepage)
anEscapedString = escapeURI(LITERAL, codepage)

The string is escaped to conform with URI encoding as defined in RFC 2396. The codepage defines the target encoding, e.g. web forms accept parameters in the same encoding as the website (e.g. ISO-8859-1). The return value is a string.

Parameters of URLs must be encoded value by value.
