a question about URL encoding

Hello, I read somewhere that the URL Encoding of the space character can be either %20 or +. The behavior of the URLEncoders from both commons-codec and jdk converts spaces to +. Is there anyway to force the URLEncoder to convert spaces to %20 instead? Thanks. - Jim

Re: which commons codec converts space to %20?

It probably needs to be an option added to the URLEncoder class. I doubt there's anything that does this for you right now. For now - I would recommend that you use a search and replace on the output of URLEncoder to change the + to %20. Hen On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 9:23 PM, Jim the Standing Bear
