Percent Encoding - The parameter values in the URL (the parts after '=' signs) must be properly
percent encoded:
all characters other than A-Za-z0-9_-!.~'()* must be encoded as %HH,
where HH is the 2 digit hexadecimal value of the character, for example, a space becomes
%20. Characters above #127 must be converted to UTF-8 bytes, then each UTF-8 byte must
be percent encoded (ask a programmer for help). There are
websites that percent encode and decode for you.
Exact Match -
This service requires an exact match. Trying to translate a partial or
invalid CF Standard Name or GCMD Science Keyword, or using a different case
(upper or lower), will lead to an HTML error.
