NAME
curl_escape - URL encodes the given string
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_escape( char *url, int length );
DESCRIPTION
This function will convert the given input string to an URL
encoded string and return that as a new allocated string.
All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be
converted to their "URL escaped" version. If a sequence of
%NN (where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number) is found in
the string to encode, that 3-letter combination will be
copied to the output unmodifed, assuming that it is an
already encoded piece of data.
If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use
strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.
You must free() the returned string when you're done with
it.
RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
