So, d5 should be: string d5 = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(e5) it decodes both space and other chars that were encoded by both method. when you are doing HttpUtility.UrlDecode(); if decodes both urlEncode(), and urlPathEncode(). So, d5 should be:
string d5 = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(e5)
it decodes both space and other chars that were encoded by both method.

“<script%20lang=’javascript’%20/>”

…which takes us back to the start… :(

(I doubt it too..) <br /> <br />Sorry for the cryptic writing... <br /> In my small experiments I have seen the following;

string e = “<script lang=’javascript’ />”;

string e1 = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(e);

string e2 = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(e);

string e3 = HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(e);

string e4 = HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode(e);

and then you get the following results;

e1 = “<script lang=’javascript’ />”

e2 = “%3cscript+lang%3d’javascript’+%2f%3e”

e3 = “<script%20lang=’javascript’%20/>”

e4 = “<script lang=’javascript’ />”

which means you might have to employ to encode;

string e5 = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(a));

and eventually

string d5 = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(e5))

which gives

e5 = “%3cscript%2520lang%3d’javascript’%2520%2f%3e”

d5 = “<script lang=’javascript’ />”

to get the “best” result… (I doubt it too..)

Sorry for the cryptic writing…
