query as byte array

[Chaitanya Ravi]

Hi

I wan tot send the query as the byte array since my query string includes
unicode characters. How can i do this ?

GetMethod method = new GetMethod("/Sponsor");
method.setQueryString(" I send xml string here");

But if i have unicode characters in the xmlstring, they don't get sent
properly. So, i want to convert the xml string into byte array and send it
to my server.

Please help
