Return value
The function returns the decoded URL.
Description
In some cases when using webservices (e.g. posting a Tweet on Twitter), you need to percent-encode a URL. This is required when calling the netPost() function with "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
Therefore, you need the functions: urlDecode() and urlEncode(). The function urlEncode() encodes the decoded parameter into URL encoding format and urlDecode() decodes it back to a string.
For more information on URL encoding, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_encoding.
