URL Reserved Character

  1. A URL reserved character delimits the boundaries between different parts of a URL.
  2. If a situation arises in which a URL reserved character should not be treated as a delimiter then it must be replaced with a URL escape code.
  3. See the definition of URL escape codes for the complete set of URL reserved characters as defined in RFC 3986.
