Hi,
I believe that there is a bug in the org.apache.hc.core5.net.URIBuilder class,
it is not converting + characters to spaces. This is working in
org.apache.http.client.utils.URIBuilder.
Example:
@Test
fun testParseHC5() {
val uri =
org.apache.hc.core5.net.URIBuilder("https://example.com/?value=foo+bar”)
assertEquals("https://example.com/?value=foo+bar";, uri.build().toString())
assertEquals("value", uri.queryParams[0].name)
assertEquals("foo bar", uri.queryParams[0].value) // <— This assertion fails
}
@Test
fun testParseHC4() {
val uri =
org.apache.http.client.utils.URIBuilder("https://example.com/?value=foo+bar”)
assertEquals("https://example.com/?value=foo+bar";, uri.build().toString())
assertEquals("value", uri.queryParams[0].name)
assertEquals("foo bar", uri.queryParams[0].value)
}
The first test using HttpClient 5 fails, the parameter value is “foo+bar”
instead of “foo bar”. The second test using HttpClient 4 works.
As far as I understand, + characters in the query string are representing
spaces:
- https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_URI_Recommentations.html
- https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#form-content-type
I believe this is where the code is that tells the parser to keep + characters:
