When I use escape/encodeURI/encodeURIComponent to encode URI,
it's encoding special characters (like "? [ ] &" ), and all non-ASCII characters.
I prefer the link to look like:
http:/site.com/?tm=ДОБРОЕ**%20**УТРО
instead:
http:/site.com/?tm=%u0414%u041E%u0411%u0420%u041E%u0415**%20**%u0423%u0422%u0420%u041E
My questions:
- Is there any need to encode non-ASCII ?
- Is there any function that encode only special characters ? (without non-ASCII)
In http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5_BNF.html one can read:
The "national" and "punctuation" characters do not appear in any productions and therefore may not appear in URLs.
