URL encoding (percent encoding)

URLs cannot contain spaces or non-ASCII characters. Use URL encoding to convert non-ASCII characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. URL encoding replaces non-ASCII characters with a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits.

For example, when including a timezone such as +01:00 on a DataPoint request, URL encode the request as follows:

https://cloud.oem.net.au/ws/DataPoint/00010000-00000000-03515790-56477597/ain1/val?startTime=2016-11-01T16:00:03.0000000%2B01:00
