Try URL-Encoding that character. You just use "%" + "hex value of character
in ascii table". For example, the space character becomes "%20". In your
case I think you want to use "%5E" instead of "^".

Hi all,
I trying to use the httpclient to retrieve some stock quote output, but
it seems that the URI does not like the character "^". Not sure how to
tackle it. Any help would be appreciated.
.....
StringBuffer url = new
StringBuffer("http://quote.yahoo.com/download/javasoft.beans?symbols=";);
url = url.append("^IXIC");
url.append("&format=sl1d1t1c1ohgvbap");
.....
The runtime error was,
Invalid uri
'http://quote.yahoo.com/download/javasoft.beans?symbols=^IXIC&format
=sl1d1t1c1ohgvbap': Invalid query:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri
'http://quote.yahoo.com/download
/javasoft.beans?symbols=^IXIC&format=sl1d1t1c1ohgvbap': Invalid query
