Whay type of encoding is this?

    Can you solve this?

    I have a url:
    PAZG/dsummary.aspx?offercode=DSL0PP152

    Which needs to be encoded as:
    PAZG%252Fdsummary.aspx%3Foffercode%3DDSL0PP152

    I have tried urlencode, but then instead of %252F I get %2F, but the rest of it seems correct.

    Is there other way to encode to get to what I need?

    %252F is simply %2F encoded. So it's encoded twice. You can see this here:

    http://www.string-functions.com/urldecode.aspx

    Type %252F in the box and decode it. It will show %2F. urldecode is correct, and whatever you did before was wrong.

    so is the "/" the only bit which is being encoding twice?
