values with space doesn't pass with %20

[KenKen]

somehow other special characters can be passed in the values, but space doesn't. I tried %20 and + for whitespace but no luck. Is there anything that I am missing on this?

For eg)
'Senior programmer' cannot be passed even though I change it to 'Senior%20programmer' or 'Senior+programmer' by using urllib.quote(myjob) in Python.

Posting this problem here with my luck!

Thank you.

@KenKen - Please provide some code to show how your going about this as it gives us a better idea on how to assist otherwise we are guessing just as much as you are.

Otherwise urllib should pass the url with the whitespaces if you import urllib

import urllib
url = urllib.quote("http://www.mailwizz.com/my url with whitespaces")

Thanks

Hi BirdyUK, found that it works when I pass data as param (urllib.urlencode(params)) instead of encoding each value with urllib.quote(value)

Thank you for your fast response. Hope this post can be helpful for other users.
