Just do it like that:
pparms[0].setName("searchstring_required");
pparms[0].setValue("You must enter a keyword to search for.");
and let PostMethod#setRequestBody(NameValuePair[]) do URL-encoding for
you.
I hope this helps
Cheers
Oleg
PS: BTW, PostMethod can't (well, in fact, is not allowed to) do
automatic redirects due to security reasons. Calling
PostMethod#setFollowRedirects(boolean) actually has no effect of what so
ever
