Mike, Laura, Adrian In their pre-Java 1.4.1 form URLEncoder/URLDecoder classes are pretty much unusable, as these classes always use default system charset, which sometimes is not good enough. For instance, there's no way to properly encode strings that simultaneously contain Cyrillic letters and Latin accents, as both KOI8-R (default Russian encoding on Unix platforms) & Win1251 (default Russian encoding on Windows platforms) are 8bit charsets. One would need to use UTF-8, however, standard pre-Java 1.4 URLEncoder does not provide a means of specifying an alternative charset.
We have to live with URIUtil for 2.0 release. In the future I would suggest moving URL encoding logic into Commons-Codec Oleg > My only guess is that URLEncoder may not handle character encodings > correctly.
