Commandline Urlencoder written in C

#urlencode / urldecode#

A simple (set of) commandline utilities to url encode/decode strings.

But can't i just write an awk/perl/python script?

You sure can! I just wanted to see if I could write this in C.

INSTALLATION

Run the make file, and make install.

make; make install

This will drop the urlencode and urldecode binaries in your /usr/local/bin directory.

USAGE

Either pass in the string as an arument

urlencode "hello world!"
hello%20world%21⏎ 

or pipe some text to it

echo "hello world!" | urlencode
hello%20world%21⏎

or pipe them together because, why not?

echo "hello world!" | urlencode | urldecode
hello world!⏎

That's about it. I am a total newbie when it comes to C, so this is not memory efficient or even recommended to be used, but it was fun to write.

Pull requests welcome!
