Title: Bitcoin URL label encoding Post by: playtin on March 03, 2013, 09:24:40 PM In https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/URI_Scheme (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/URI_Scheme) is stated:
Quote Characters must be URI encoded properly. However, this does not seem to work.Say we need to label this "pos#1" bitcoin:1PuR9qRJ7BsyeiZPn4EjbG5oH94nkz9you?label=pos#1 (bitcoin:1PuR9qRJ7BsyeiZPn4EjbG5oH94nkz9you?label=pos#1) results in "pos" bitcoin:1PuR9qRJ7BsyeiZPn4EjbG5oH94nkz9you?label=pos%231 (bitcoin:1PuR9qRJ7BsyeiZPn4EjbG5oH94nkz9you?label=pos%231) results in "pos%231" Does anybody know how to encode a label?

I just tried it in MultiBit. Type in a label "pos#1". If you scan the QR code generated you get "... &label=pos%231" Copy and paste the QR code to another wallet and your label gets decoded back to "pos#1" It is the same with foreign languages. Chinese label of "你好!" ("ni hao !" = "Hello!") => &label=%E4%BD%A0%E5%A5%BD%21 (the unicode of "ni hao !" I think) => 你好! after decoding Title: Re: Bitcoin URL label encoding Post by: playtin on March 03, 2013, 09:56:04 PM You need to decode the encoded version afterwards to use it as normal text My point was that apparently Bitcoin-QT does not do this. |
