Question

I encoded ” Central Time (US & Canada) ” with C#.

timeZone =Server.UrlEncode ("Central Time (US & Canada)");

I want to have the same encoded string with ruby.

Ruby UrlEncode==> Central%252BTime%252B%2528US%252B%252526%252BCanada%2529
.Net UrlEncode twice=> Central%252bTime%252b%28US%252b%252526%252bCanada%29
.Net UrlEncode==> Central%2BTime%2B%28US%2B%2526%2BCanada%29

how can I catch the same encoded string?

Thanks.

I solved the problem.

like this:

 public string Encode(string text)
    {

        byte[] myASCIIBytes = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(text);

        byte[] myUTF8Bytes = Encoding.Convert( Encoding.Unicode,UTF8Encoding.UTF8, myASCIIBytes);

        return Encoding.Default.GetString(myUTF8Bytes);
    }

protected string UrlEncodePost(string value)
    {
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

        foreach (char symbol in value)
        {
            if (unreservedChars.IndexOf(symbol) != -1)
            {
                result.Append(symbol);
            }
            else
            {
                result.Append('%' + String.Format("{0:X2}", (int)symbol));
            }
        }

        return result.ToString();
    }



   timeZone = UrlEncodePost(Encode("Central Time (US & Canada)"));

And I updated ComputeHash function in the OAuthBase.cs file.
=>

 private string ComputeHash(HashAlgorithm hashAlgorithm, string data) {
        if (hashAlgorithm == null) {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("hashAlgorithm");
        }

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(data)) {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("data");
        }

        byte[] myBytes = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(data);

        byte[] myUTF8Bytes = Encoding.Convert(Encoding.Unicode, UTF8Encoding.UTF8, myBytes);

        byte[] hashBytes = hashAlgorithm.ComputeHash(myUTF8Bytes);

        return Convert.ToBase64String(hashBytes);

    }
