Hi,

we are running into issues with URLs that get spaces encoded to "+". 


In the javadocs I read:


*Note: this method will convert any the space character into *

*its escape short form, '+' rather than %20. *

*It should therefore only be used for query-string parts.*



This is wrong: the "+" means a space only in 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded content.

The method that allows us to use the correct behaviour


public static String encodeComponent( String decodedURLComponent,  boolean 
queryStringSpaces)



is deprecated.

The make it a "+" behaviour is the default one in the UrlEncoder in Java. 
This class is either wrongly named or does the wrong thing.  I would guess 
it is wrongly named, as the javadocs state that this class is for form 
encoding.
