Does anyone know an easy way to encode special characters that I can pass with a URL. I'd like to be able to pass a URL in a URL to my server and then decode it on the server and use it.

llEscapeURL()/llUnescapeURL().
Fair warning: llEscapeURL() seems to have a lame limit on the length of the string it'll output. It will not output more than 255 characters, so if you want to encode more than 80 or so special characters, you may need to write a function to encode them in chunks.

It's also fairly simplistic, escaping pretty much any non-alphanumeric character as %hh. In some cases, where you need spaces escaped to plus signs, for example, you will have to write your own function.
