Remarks

Utility class for HTML form encoding. This class contains static methods for converting a String to the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format. For more information about HTML form encoding, consult the HTML specification.

When encoding a String, the following rules apply:

<ul> <li>The alphanumeric characters &quot;a&quot; through &quot;z&quot;, &quot;A&quot; through &quot;Z&quot; and &quot;0&quot; through &quot;9&quot; remain the same. <li>The special characters &quot;.&quot;, &quot;-&quot;, &quot;*&quot;, and &quot;_&quot; remain the same. <li>The space character &quot; &nbsp; &quot; is converted into a plus sign &quot;+&quot;. <li>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 &quot;%xy&quot;, where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the byte. The recommended encoding scheme to use is UTF-8. However, for compatibility reasons, if an encoding is not specified, then the default encoding of the platform is used. </ul>

For example using UTF-8 as the encoding scheme the string &quot;The string &#252;
