The other day I found myself in the need of a compliant url-encoding routine for the PB language, not surprisingly theres none available by default (there are actually no specialized libraries whatsoever, and the little you see is implemented from third-party code…).

Heres a standards compliant routine to URL-Encode URIs in PureBasic:
