Class URLEncoder

java.lang.Object
  ice.util.net.URLEncoder

public class URLEncoder

extends Object

Utility class for HTML form encoding. This class contains a static method for converting a String to the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format.

When encoding a String, the following rules apply:

• The alphanumeric characters "a" through "z", "A" through "Z" and "0" through "9" remain the same.
• The special characters ".", "-", "*", and "_" remain the same.
• The space character " " is converted into a plus sign "+".
• All other characters are unsafe and are first converted into one or more bytes using some encoding scheme. Then each byte is represented by the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the byte. The recommended encoding scheme to use is UTF-8.
