Url Online Encoder

I want to make a string into a URL using C#. There must be something in the .NET framework that should help, right?

I have tried to follow the documentation but was not able to use urlparse.parse.quote_plus() in Python 3:

from urllib.parse import urlparseparams = urlparse.parse.quote_plus({'username': 'administrator', 'password': 'xyz'})

I get

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'parse'

I'm attempting to send hit payloads as part of a POST for the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol for my iOS android app.

Here's a hit I'm sending for session control:

&dp=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&geoid=TESTING&z=818790&sr=480x270&ul=en&sc=start&ds=simulator&dl=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&dr=iOS&tid=UA%2Dxxxxxxx%2D1&ti=TESTING&cid=TESTING&aip=1&an=FE&cd=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&aid=xxx%2Eyyyy%2Ezzz%2E&v=1&av=16%2E5%2E2

And here's a hit I'm sending for an exception event:

&dp=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&geoid=TESTING&z=217660&sr=480x270&ul=en&exf=1&ds=simulator&dl=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&dr=iOS&aid=xxx%2Eyyy%2Ezzz%2E&ti=TESTING&cid=TESTING&tid=UA%2D117928712%2D1&exd=%2FUsers%2Fchomsky%2Fapps%2Ffunbox%2Fapps%2Fxxx%2Flib%2Fscamp%2Fdebug%2FmenuButtons%2FFE%2Elua%3A147%3A+822Error&aip=1&an=FE&cd=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&v=1&av=16%2E5%2E2&t=exception

I've checked both with the hit validator (https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/hit-builder/), and it says they're valid, (although I've altered these slightly so it doesn't contain my personal information, hence the x's, y's, and z's.

When I send it to https://www.google-analytics.com/debug/collect, it gives me back this message:

It looks to me like it came back 200 with no problems.

However, when I send this same hit to https://www.google-analytics.com/collect, so I can see it in the Analytics website's console, I don't see the request appear. It says that there is a user on my app right now (it's me!) but I can't see any of the exceptions or session control events I'm sending -- it shows no events of any kind received today. Is there a reason why this would be happening? Am I missing something in my hit, or do I not know where to look?

The certutil utiliiy in Windows can be used to perform Base64 encoding and deocding. Is there any built-in utility for URL encoding and decoding? There are many free tools available on web. But I am specifically looking for Windows built-in utility or if not simple script that can run on Windows.

Thanks!

Do you know a fast and simple way to encode a Javascript Object into a string that I can pass via a GET Request?

No jQuery, no other frameworks - just plain Javascript :)
