Class CustomURLEncoder

java.lang.Object

de.infinityloop.util.CustomURLEncoder

public class CustomURLEncoder
extends java.lang.Object

The class contains a utility method for converting a String into a MIME format called "x-www-form-urlencoded" format.

To convert a String, each character is examined in turn:

• The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', '0' through '9', and ".", "-", "*", "_" remain the same.
• The space character ' ' is converted into a plus sign '+'.
• All other characters are converted into the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the character.

Method Detail

encode

@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String encode(java.lang.String s)

Deprecated.

Translates a string into x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Parameters:

s - String to be translated.

Returns:

the translated String.

decode

@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String decode(java.lang.String s)

Deprecated.

Translates a string from x-www-form-urlencoded format to a UTF-8 Java string. 2005-10-14: Added new heuristics: What to do when the string contains high-ASCII-characters? E.g. Word writes "URL"s that have spaces quoted correctly (%20), but have umlauts simply written 1:1 as high-ASCII characters. What we need to do is determine which encoding we should use for that hi-ASCII characters to convert it into the appropriate Unicode character. For now, we assume that any hi-ASCII-characters are UTF-8 compatible, i.e. part of CP1252

Parameters:

s - String to be decoded.

Returns:

the translated String.
