Current Time in URL

I've got a rule that has an action to send a POST. As part of the URL I'd like to send the current time. Is this possible? For example, the URL would be: http://192.xxx.xx.xxx:8080/text?t=

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can use %now% in the URL string, and RM will fill in the time. You can choose a format for the time also, but you may have to put %now% in an action to send a message to bring up that selector (that action could be deleted once you've made the selection).

Excellent - many thanks.

BTW - how do I handle URL Encoding for spaces? I'm trying to pass %20 for spaces in the URL but it is coming across as actual %20 instead of a space.

Thanks
