CentOS - Jul 2015 - Using gpg to encrypt a URL line on CentOS 6.

Is there a way to use GPG to encrypt
a URL line with parameters  ?

I was looking at libmcrypt also but it
is not part of CentOS.

I have found examples for mcrypt but not for gpg.

Thoughts? Thanks.

You can encrypt any text file with gpg, and the contents of text file can be
anything you want.

I don't think you have stated your problem in sufficient detail.

+1.   also, it'd probably be good to state what you're trying to
accomplish rather
than if you can throw a technology at vague something or another.   I think
you'd
find gpg's password input cumbersome for symmetric keys, the output too long
in ascii
armor and possibly annoying to deal with public keys... but you don't really
say what
you're trying to fix/avoid/do/not do.
