Hello:
When I encode the name of an image file to place into a URL, I use this
code:
URLEncoder.encode(imageName,"UTF-8")
This gives me image names with spaces replaced by + signs which IE does not
like.
If I change the spaces to %20, the URL works perfectly in IE.
For example, if my image name is Ping G2 Driver.gif, URLEncoder gives me
this URL:
<http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2+Driver.gif>
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2+Driver.gif
If I try to load this URL in IE, it gives me a 404 error.
If I use the exact same url with %20, it works just fine:
<http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20G2%20Driver.g
if>
http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20G2%20Driver.gi
f
I thought + and %20 were both acceptable for spaces in a URL, but apparently
IE does not like the plus signs.
Is there a way to force URLEncoder to use %20 instead of + signs?
Nope. '+' is canonical and should work fine. What encoding are you sending
your pages with? That's the only thing I can think of that might make a
difference.
