quote(s, safe='/')
quote(abc def
) -> abc%20def
Each part of a URL, e.g. the path info, the query, etc., has a different set of reserved characters that must be quoted.
RFC 2396 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax lists the following reserved characters.
reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | ","
Each of these characters is reserved in some component of a URL, but not necessarily in all of them.
By default, the quote function is intended for quoting the path
section of a URL. Thus, it will not encode /
. This character
is reserved, but in typical usage the quote function is being
called on a path where the existing slash characters are used as
reserved characters.
