# NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
curl_easy_unescape - URL decodes the given string
|
||
|
|
||
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
char *curl_easy_unescape(CURL *curl, const char *input,
|
||
|
int inlength, int *outlength);
|
||
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
This function converts the URL encoded string **input** to a "plain string"
|
||
|
and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input characters that are URL
|
||
|
encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to their
|
||
|
binary versions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the **length** argument is set to 0 (zero), curl_easy_unescape(3)
|
||
|
uses strlen() on **input** to find out the size.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If **outlength** is non-NULL, the function writes the length of the returned
|
||
|
string in the integer it points to. This allows proper handling even for
|
||
|
strings containing %00. Since this is a pointer to an *int* type, it can
|
||
|
only return a value up to *INT_MAX* so no longer string can be returned in
|
||
|
this parameter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since 7.82.0, the **curl** parameter is ignored. Prior to that there was
|
||
|
per-handle character conversion support for some old operating systems such as
|
||
|
TPF, but it was otherwise ignored.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you are done with it.

# EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
int main(void)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
||
|
if(curl) {
|
||
|
int decodelen;
|
||
|
char *decoded = curl_easy_unescape(curl, "%63%75%72%6c", 12, &decodelen);
|
||
|
if(decoded) {
|
||
|
/* do not assume printf() works on the decoded data! */
|
||
|
printf("Decoded: ");
|
||
|
/* ... */
|
||
|
curl_free(decoded);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
