Hey, I understand what you meant.
You mean URL encoding, like " " = %20. A URLBuilder would be a good way to describe what you want. Sorry, but I don't know any like this. I can't be difficult to make it yourself though. Supplying a basic and splitting it with a tokenizer, and then building it on toString(). To encode the URL you can use java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String s) to encode the parts.
