Hello, This article: http://blog.lunatech.com/2009/02/03/what-every-web-developer-must-know-about-url-encoding
...refers to the pitfalls of using Java's standard URLEncoder / URLDecoder classes for anything other than *form* encoding. In particular, it is unsuitable for path segments, and has no concept of matrix parameters (such as ;jsessionid=xxx but appearing in any segment). The standard URI class in the JDK doesn't appear to provide much in the way of solutions either. Given that when encoding and decoding URLs/URIs, I can first split into segments (easy enough splitting on "/"), does anyone on this HTTP client list have any recommendations for correctly encoding and decoding each individual path segment (and extracting matrix parameters)? After searching, I've found no standalone class (read: without being bloated or loaded with dependencies) that can both encode and decode. Given how many implementors seem to have got it more or less wrong, I'm humble enough not to try it myself unless there really is no other choice. Thanks, Christopher
