java.lang.Objectjava.net.URLEncoder
public class URLEncoder
Utility class for HTML form encoding. This class contains static methods
for converting a String to the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME
format. For more information about HTML form encoding, consult the HTML
specification.
When encoding a String, the following rules apply:
a" through
"z", "A" through
"Z" and "0"
through "9" remain the same.
.",
"-", "*", and
"_" remain the same.
" is
converted into a plus sign "+".
%xy", where xy is the
two-digit hexadecimal representation of the byte.
The recommended encoding scheme to use is UTF-8. However,
for compatibility reasons, if an encoding is not specified,
then the default encoding of the platform is used.
For example using UTF-8 as the encoding scheme the string "The string ü@foo-bar" would get converted to "The+string+%C3%BC%40foo-bar" because in UTF-8 the character ü is encoded as two bytes C3 (hex) and BC (hex), and the character @ is encoded as one byte 40 (hex).

encode(String s,
String enc)
Translates a string into application/x-www-form-urlencoded
format using a specific encoding scheme. |

@Deprecated public static String encode(String s)
x-www-form-urlencoded
format. This method uses the platform's default encoding
as the encoding scheme to obtain the bytes for unsafe characters.
s - String to be translated.
String.
public static String encode(String s,
String enc)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
format using a specific encoding scheme. This method uses the
supplied encoding scheme to obtain the bytes for unsafe
characters.
Note: The World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation states that UTF-8 should be used. Not doing so may introduce incompatibilites.
s - String to be translated.enc - The name of a supported
character
encoding.
String.
UnsupportedEncodingException - If the named encoding is not supportedURLDecoder.decode(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
