Questions
What is the difference between component and full URL encoding?
Component encoding escapes every reserved character, including : / ? # & = , so the result is safe as a single query value or path segment. Full URL encoding leaves those characters intact because they carry structural meaning in a complete URL. Use component encoding for values, full for whole URLs.
When should I enable "treat + as space"?
When decoding data that came from an HTML form submitted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. That format encodes spaces as + rather than %20, so decoding without this option leaves literal plus signs in your text.
