javascript - jQuery encode blank space in ajax query string -

i'm using api has blank spaces in query string.

stationstring=kden%20ksea 

in ajax query i'm using this:

var station ="kden%20ksea" $.ajax({ type: "get", url: 'https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?datasource=tafs&requesttype=retrieve&format=xml&hoursbeforenow=3&timetype=issue& data: {'stationstring': station}, 

my decoded url in console looks this:

stationstring:kden%2520ksea 

when set station variable this:

var station ="kden ksea" 

my decoded url in console substitutes blank space "+".

how can pass blank space in string?

you need decode string before sending in request not double-encoded jquery's $.ajax() method. can use decodeuricomponent(). try this:

var station = decodeuricomponent("kden%20ksea"); $.ajax({     type: "get",     url: 'https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?datasource=tafs&requesttype=retrieve&format=xml&hoursbeforenow=3&timetype=issue',     data: { stationstring: station },     success: function(data) {         // returned data...     } });
