Author Encoding of document-name (url) in GET-requests

Hi

A client that requests a document from a http-server has to do certain
encodings to the path and name of the document he is requesting.
E.g. a client that request a document
"/test/test 1.html"
will typically talk somethink like:
GET /test/test%201.html HTTP/1.1

Can someone tell me, which characters has do be encoded exactly?
And can I encode to much characters or does the server decode every
occurance of %XX ?

Thanks & bye

Bodo

Hi

I forgot something: I'm not only interested in the encoding of a path
but in general, especially path and parameters passed to a script.
