NAME
       curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *curl, char *url, int length );

DESCRIPTION
       This  function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string
       and returns that as a new allocated string. All input  characters  that
       are  not  a-z,  A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their "URL escaped" version
       (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).

       If the length argument is set to  0  (zero),  curl_easy_escape(3)  uses
       strlen() on the input url to find out the size.

       You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you're done with it.

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old curl_escape(3) function.

RETURN VALUE
       A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
