What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet.

URL encoding is normally performed to convert data passed via html forms, because such data may contain special character, such as " ",/", ".", "#", and so on, which could either:
a) have special meanings;
b) is not a valid character for an URL;
c) could be altered during transfer.

For instance, the "#" character needs to be encoded because it has a special meaning of that of an html anchor. The " " character also needs to be encoded because is not allowed on a valid URL format. Also, some characters, such as "~" might not transport properly across the internet.
