string.uRLDecode()

Decodes a URL-encoded string.

string.uRLDecode( charset=string, strict=boolean )

Returns: String

Argument Description
charset
string, optional

The character encoding in which the string is encoded.

strict
boolean, optional

Default true, uses the Apache Commons UrlDecoder which has better overall support for UTF-8 etc, but throws an exception on invalid encodings.

When false, it will attempt strict mode first, then fall back to the older custom implementation which strips out invalid encodings, if strict fails.

Examples

	encoded_string = "https%3A%2F%2Fdev%2Elucee%2Eorg%2Ft%2Fwelcome%2Dto%2Dlucee%2Ddev%2F2064";
	dump(encoded_string.URLDecode()); // https://dev.lucee.org/t/welcome-to-lucee-dev/2064
