What do these characters do in a URL/WebAddress?
- by acidzombie24
I notice these characters are all illegal
#%<>?\/*+|:"
I notice these are encoded (%NN where NN is the hex value) but can be replace without problem
$,;=& @
(note the space which is typically encoded as + (but may be %20))
#%?/+ i understand. But whats do the following characters do? <>\*|":
Note: I understand what : does in the domain part (its the port) as @ is a login but after the first / why is : illegal? (@ isnt)
