Hallo Paranoid, there is no standard way of determining an encoding for URLs. The standard is US-ASCII, nothing else allowed. A common non-standard is UTF-8. Otherwise, you'll have to guess. You could try to fetch some page from the server and see what encoding is used for the _content_ of that page. Of course there's no guarantee that the same encoding will be understood for URLs. Odi provides some details on URL character encoding in our Application Design FAQ, section "GET with Query": http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/FrequentlyAskedApplicationDesignQuestions#head-608332884523b67a1e00f1b5f2a7a144fa58ca64
