Check out CGI.escape(). CGI is part of the Ruby standard library.
Typically you’ll want to pass in just a querystring parameter value (not
the entire URI).

And CGI.escape_skipping_slashes added in Rails’ Active Supprt. It’s good
for a pathname, but not for a URL with hostname.

Try:
CGI::escape(‘scott walter’)

You may need to require “CGI”

scott.

What’s an Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lor more that it’s ever
done in a PC.

That’s a very vague question.

Simple Answer:
