[racket] escaping binary data in url
The library already does some URL encoding for you, as "%" is an
illegal character in a query string, since that's the escape character
itself for arbitrary bytes, "%25" gets translated down to...
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
> (integer->char (string->number "25" 16))
#\%
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
... that percent sign.
Would using base64-encode (from the net/base64 library) work for you?
You can take your bytes and feed them through base64-encode; the
result should be something that can be a part of URLs.
