Hi all,

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm stuck.

I'm trying to use URLEncode in Indy 9.0.17 in BCB6.  The Indy
documentation and examples show it taking only a String, but the
actual code also requires a "TMetaClass*".  I've tried this:

  myStr = TIdURI::URLEncode(0, myStr);

and

  myStr = TIdURI::URLEncode(__classid(TIdURI), myStr);

Both result in a run time popup message:  "Protocol field is empty.".
Wrapping things in a "try" block suppresses the popup, so I assume I'm
triggering some sort of exception.  I've Googled, and it seems that
the __classid thing is what I'm supposed to be doing to call OP class
routines from C++, and I yelled that at my computer, but it won't
listen.  ;-)  What am I doing wrong?

The examples and documentation are based on Delphi, which does not require
the extra parameter.  In C++, the extra parameter is required as part of
BCB's compatibility layer with Delphi, since C++ and Pascal have different
architectures and sementics.

That is the correct way to do it.

That is a run-time parsing error, not a compile-time syntax error.  Your
input string is not formatted as a valid URL that URLEncode() can encode
properly.

Ahhh, okay.  Thanks, I'll investigate that direction to see what is
going wrong.
