A stack trace would be helpful here, but it will almost certainly be because of the "|" (pipe) character, which is considered an unsafe character and should be encoded. Java's URLEncoder class will help you here, but you shouldn't run the whole URL through the URLEncoder - that will almost certainly give you an unusable URL!
I'd also suggest searching the mailing list archives on this one, it's been discussed many times.
