Motivation[edit | edit source]

When you submit data to a web service you want to change the way that parameters are encoded.

Method[edit | edit source]

Changing the Separator Character[edit | edit source]

By default the separator character is a semicolon. You can change it to be an ampersand by adding the following attribute to the submission element:

  separator="&"

Note that the ampersand must be escaped.

(09 MAR 2009 the default was changed to ampersand in the official xsd-file)

Changing the URL encoding Parameter[edit | edit source]

You can also change the way that special characters are encoded by using the encoding attribute.

The options are any of the character encoding systems such as:

encoding="ISO-8859-1"

encoding="UTF-16"
