Screen special characters
#1
Hi,

The code below receives a Submit from an url and extracts the ssid and password names from it.

To screen the special characters, a 'replace' is used, but it makes it rather complex to use it for each special character.

Is there a simpler way to filter/convert them?

TIA

>>> from urllib.parse import unquote
>>> 
>>> password = 'mySSID&password=myPass%40home'
>>> unquote(password)
'mySSID&password=myPass@home'
Also look at this Thread here.
He has written a parser for header data kiss-headers
