how to put an URL as a parameter in another URL for successful parsing

say I want to set the URL: www.a.com?str1=12&str2=67 as a parameter in another URL so that it can be parsed properly.

problem: say i set it as a parameter in another url as-

www.a.com?redirect_to=www.a.com?str1=12&str2=67

then what happens is when I parse the url then I get the value of redirect_to as www.a.com?str1=12 because strt2 is considered to be another parameter. so what can I do to get www.a.com?str1=12&str2=67 as the value of redirect_to?

Try escaping the redirect url with CGI.escape:

require 'cgi'
my_url = "www.a.com?redirect_to=#{CGI.escape('www.a.com?str1=12&str2=67')}"
# my_url => "www.a.com?redirect_to=www.a.com%3Fstr1%3D12%26str2%3D67"
