Class Method Summary

• .escape_component(component) ⇒ Object

  There’s a lot of confusion about this, the default implementation of URI.escape is marked as “obsolete”, CGI.escape does another work, a safe solution seems to use github.com/sporkmonger/addressable without adding a new dependecy I found that encode all not unreserved characters (unfortunately that doesn’t mean all reserved characters) it’s a pretty safe solution, see tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.3 URI.escape(a, /[^-_.~a-zA-Z0-9]/).
