[SOLVED] WinRT and missing Web API models for Amazon API access

WinRT and missing Web API models for Amazon API access

I was working with porting the sample from the link below to a Windows 8 Metro styled app

Looks like many features from the web model are removed (or moved) in WinRT:

HttpUtility.UrlEncode
HttpUtility.UrlDecode
HMAC / HMACSHA256

to name a few. Are there alternatives to these on WInRT? I looked online and there's very little insight.

Solution

Theres source code for URLDecode here, and looks like Uri.EscapeDataString can be used for Encode.

copy the source code over, change the GetChars function to this

    static char [] GetChars (MemoryStream b, Encoding e)
    {
        return e.GetChars (b.ToArray(), 0, (int) b.Length);
    }
