Do you think you could explain in detail what it does or give a link to
some documentation of this function? It would make it much easier for
people to answer your question.

I'm not sure about the subtle differences between URI and URL.
But I think URLEncoder.encode(String) is roughly what you want.

Since I'm :captain: UTF-8, I will add that URLEncoder.encode(x, "UTF-8") will ensure all non-ASCII characters are also escaped in byte pairs (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars).

After many hours of pondering this character set problem stupido I discovered that the standard is :damnmate: and doesn't allow character sets other than US-ASCII in the URL. So the above way is the defacto standard.

That is all, time for the :loo:
