The Encoding property explicitly sets the type of encoding
used when optional parameter data is submitted with a request for a
resource. By default, data is URL encoded and the content type will
be designated as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The following
encoding types are supported:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
httpEncodingNone |
No encoding will be applied to the content of a request,
and no Content-Type header will be generated. |
| 1 |
httpEncodingURL |
URL encoding will be applied to the content of a request,
and a Content-Type header will be generated with the value
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" |
| 2 |
httpEncodingXML |
URL encoding will be applied to the content of a request,
EXCEPT that spaces will not be replaced by '+'. This encoding
type is intended for use with XML parsers that do not recognize
'+' as a space. A Content-Type header will be generated with
the value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". |
If an application must specify its own Content-Type header, this
property must be set to httpEncodingNone to prevent the
control from replacing the header value when the request is sent to
the server. Changes to this property and any calls to the
SetHeader method should be made after the connection to the
server has been established, immediately before the resource is
requested.
