Reference

StandardIn

Returns the Name/Value pairs submitted from an HTML form.
Syntax
TextOut = StandardIn
Remarks
There should be no need for you to call this command since LoadRequest does that already. StandardIn is empty unless the form's METHOD property set to POST. StandardIn is preferred over QUERY_STRING (METHOD=GET) because QUERY_STRING has a length limit.

See also: LoadRequest.

Note: This command is not intended for public use so be careful. It is already called by the LoadRequest command.

UrlDecode

Returns the text provided after replacing any special hexadecimal codes with the characters they represent.
Syntax
DecodedText = UrlDecode(EncodedText)
EncodedText - Required text that might contain special character encoding.

Remarks
This function follows a special HTTP standard for decoding encoded text. There is no security to this encoding. It is only intended for special characters that might interfere with a text transfer. For example: %-25; &-26; +-2B; =-3D; ?-3F

See also: UrlEncode.

Note: This command is called by the LoadRequest command.

UrlEncode

Returns the text provided after replacing any special characters with codes that can be decoded by the UrlDecode function.
Syntax
EncodedText = UrlEncode(TextIn)
TextIn - Required text that might contain special characters that need to be encoded.

Remarks
This function follows a special HTTP standard for encoding text. There is no security to this encoding. It is only intended for special characters that might interfere with a text transfer.

See also: UrlDecode.

Note: This command is called by the SetCookie and BackupRequest commands.
