14 Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_escape(3) instead!

16 This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded
17 string and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters
18 that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped"
19 version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
20
21 If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen()
22 on the input 'url' string to find out the size.
23
24 You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it.
25
27 Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This function will be
28 removed in a future release.
29
31 A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
