Hmmm... I didn't know this one existed either. I was going to be stoked about being able to drop some C DLL code I have in use for this...

But, I just tried it but it doesn't appear to work quite right either as this is meant to be an API for encoding URLs not to decode formvariable data.

DECLARE Integer UrlEscape IN Shlwapi.dll ;
   String pszUrl,;
   String @pszEscaped,;
   INTEGER @pcchEscaped,;
   INTEGER Flags

lcString ="Give me  break!" + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + "Enough already!" + CHR(133)   
   
lcBuffer = SPACE(255)   
lnSize = LEN(lcBuffer)
? UrlEscape(lcString,@lcBuffer,@lnSize,0)

? lcBuffer

* ? UrlEncode(lcString)   && compare against wwUtils

RETURN

At first I had this not work at all because it quit at # or ? characters (whihc I removed above). If your string has those values in it, it would fail - as far as I can see in the API ref there's no way to to override this default setting.

Also the CHR(133) isn't encoded for some reason and it definitely should be. Finally the API is limited to INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH (a little over 2k) so if you pull some long strings from somewhere this can be problematic.
