Could someone explain this por favor ?

[Ralph DiMola]

I only urlencode data going to the server from the client. I don't urldecode
in the server script. I did urldecode the $_GET array when I first used the
LC server. I found later that I didn't need to do this. This seems to be
done already when the url argument data is put into the $_GET array. I
return(in the server script) "return arrayencode(MyArrayWithReturnedData).
Then in the client I do:

Try 
put arraydecode(ReturnedData) into ReturnedData
end try

if ReturnedData is an array then
-- process the data in the array
Else
-- Error processing here
End if

To date I have not had any problems with the $_GET array or the returned
data. One of my parameters is an email address and the "@" is already
urldecoded in the $_GET array. Based on this thread I now question if I am
just lucky by not urldecoding the $_GET array?

I just tried, and I get EXACTLY the same base64 string on the server before
and after urldecode...
Needless to say I'm puzzled...
