URLEncoder


It used to be that with IE5.5 and under (IE6 seems to no longer support this feature) that you could use the decimal equivalent of an IP in the URL, eg - 3639554917 instead of 216.239.51.101. It is also supported by most webservers to use hex codes to replace characters in the path of the file to get, eg %7E instead of ~.

This program combines these two features to produce a hard to read URL, eg - http://3639554917/%69%6E%64%65%78%2E%68%74%6D%6C (http://216.239.51.101/index.html).
