http_build_query(object) click to toggle source

Build an HTTP URL-encoded string suitable for appending to GET paths. This is intended to have an as-similar-as-possible usage as PHP’s.

# File lib/php_http_build_query.rb, line 7
def http_build_query(object)
  h = hashify(object)
  result = ""
  separator = '&'
  h.keys.sort.each do |key|
    result << (CGI.escape(key) + '=' + CGI.escape(h[key]) + separator)
  end
  result = result.sub(/#{separator}$/, '') # Remove the trailing k-v separator
  return result
end
