"+" is the standard way to encode space character. Your site should
support it.
You can also use class java.net.URLEncoder included in the JDK but
spaces will still be encoded as "+".
Why would it ba a problem for you?

Thanks for answering. But URLCodec and URLEncodedUtils both replace
space with "+" and not with "%20".
Are there any know problems in using URIUtil? I'm not using HttpClient.

Hi,
This method is from HttpClient 3 which is now deprecated and not
maintained anymore. In the latest versions you can use class
org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils
I guess you are already using HttpClient on your project? If not, if
you just need to encode values for querystring, you can use
commons-codec library:
http://commons.apache.org/codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/net/URLCodec.html#encode(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String)
<http://commons.apache.org/codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/net/URLCodec.html#encode%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%29>
Regards,
Francois-Xavier

org.apache.commons.httpclient.util.URIUtil.encodeWithinQuery: is this
right? I have seen many confusing discussion about encoding http
request in many other forum.
