Passing Variables through the HTTP Header with '&' character

[alexkeel79]

I ran into a problem with a string that I was trying to pass through the HTTP header. The string included the character '&' and since that is the character used to seperate elements my string is cut in half. Is there any special character I can use to pass '&' through the HTTP header?

escape it.

example:

alert( escape( "&" ) );

...and for ease of use, UNescape it when it reaches its destination (assuming client-side/JavaScript handling).
