URLencode bug?

[Chipp Walters]

I wrote out the URLencoded text to a txt file and was able to open it in Notepad and see it was all there. The Google API I was using kept throwing errors, which led me down some path confusing me whether or not the data was really URLencoded. After a bit of needed error checking, and changing to posting vs getting, things are working fine.

Yep, years ago I wrote a stack sharing library for Rev which passed back and forth via a server any changes made to stacks, thus allowing multiple people in remote locations to work on the same stack at the same time, and used the base64encode trick you mention to encode all meta data for all controls and their properties. Worked well.
