I am using the nightly drop from 5/22 (filename "commons-httpclient-src-20030522.zip").
I first noticed the double encoding when using Ethereal (a packet analyzer), and later
just watched member variables in HttpMethodBase in the debugger.
I will try a later version of the source and let you know.

Subject: RE: [httpclient] URL encoding
Hi Tracy,
There is something very strange going on here, I don't think you're using
the HttpClient you think you are. When you first posted, I used code almost
identical to what you're using to test it and had no problems. I've just
tested again with what will become 2.0-beta1 when the release manager gets
back and there is still no problem using the code you posted.
Where are you seeing the doubly escaped URL come out? I'm looking at the
wire trace to see exactly what is sent to the server and it's sent to the
server exactly how I passed it into the GetMethod. Can you provide the wire
trace of your attempts? Instructions for doing so can be found at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html
I must admit the getEscapedURI() and getEscapedQuery() calls look pretty
suspicious, but unless I can reproduce the problem I can't be sure enough
that they should really be changed - there's some strange stuff that happens
in the URI classes at times and I don't understand it all. :)

Given:
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*;
public class MyGetContents
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws
MalformedURLException
{
try
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod gm = new GetMethod(
"http://mail2:80/exchange/tboehrer/Inbox/RE: Test Message.EML" );
client.executeMethod( gm );
}
catch( Exception e )
{
System.out.println( e );
}
}
}
Since I don't have the URL esaped, I get the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri
'http://mail2:80/exchange/tboehrer/Inbox/RE: Test Message.EML': escaped
absolute path not valid
If I escape the URL to be:
http://mail2:80/exchange/tboehrer/Inbox/RE:%20Test%20Message.EML, then after
"parsedURI.getEscapedPath()" (below), the resultant URL is
http://mail2:80/exchange/tboehrer/Inbox/RE:%2520Test%2520Message.EML.
Just so that I could move on, I changed "parsedURI.getEscapedPath()" to
"parsedURI.getPath()" and it seems to work fine.

Hi Tracy,
HttpClient should take only fully encoded URIs so the behaviour you describe
would be a bug, however I can't reproduce the problem. Could you please
send through a simple test case showing the problem or at least the source
code you're using that experiences the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: [httpclient] URL encoding
Using the nightly source drop for 5/22, I am a bit confused as to what is
required of a URL when constructing a HttpMethodBase. If I supply an
unescaped URL (that requires it), an exception is thrown. If I escape the
URL, then this class will escape it again at around line 277:
// set the path, defaulting to root
setPath(
parsedURI.getPath() == null
? "/"
: parsedURI.getEscapedPath()
);
