Problem : Creating a URL type with parameters that have a space
between them causes an IOException in a javabean when called from
Tomcat 5.0.0.27 on a Unix installation. Using the same bean and JSP
code causes no problem when invoked on the same version of Tomcat on a
Windows installation.

Solutions tried :

1.Ensured that the server connector encoding is UTF-8 (suggested in the FAQ)
2. Have ensured that jsp the page instruction is UTF-8
3. I could turn the bean into a servlet and try using the
setContentType or SetCharacterEncoding. ( I would rather not )

Any suggestions that would make Unix implementation work would be
gratefully received. I have run out of ideas...

Thanks Nigel


Example code :
====================================
URL birdSite = new
URL("http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?keyword=black bittern");

try {

      webPageStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(birdSite.
          openStream()));
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException ne) {
      System.out.println(
          "Malformed URL Error called from within getPageNumber()" + 
ne.toString());
    }
    catch (IOException ie) {
      System.out.println("IOException called from within
getPageNumber" + ie.toString());
    }

========================================================

The IOException is caught under unix when the variable I pass to the
URL query string has  a query parameter of more than more than 1 word
as in 'black bittern' above.
