URLEncoder.encode encodes the entire document. I think you just want to
encode your parameters( Netscape Navigator does choke on spaces in URL
parameters). Just use a StringBuffer object to replace all occurrences of a
space in your parameters with the ASCII hex representation, "%20". When you
get it back, it will be translated back to spaces for you. Make sure that you
use name/value pairs in the URL. They should look like this on the way out:
"http://host:8080/servlet/YourServlet?param1=first%20Param,param2=second%20par
am".
The same technique will apply to ampersands.
