How to escape URL at indexing time

[Daniel Valdivia]

Hi

I'm trying to index documents that have a URL in some field, however as soon as 
I try to index a URL like "http://yahoo.com"; I get error:

org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.ParseException: Cannot parse 
'id:'http://www.yahoo.com'': Encountered " ":" ": "" at line 1, column 8.

I asume I need to escape the URL, but not sure if encoding the URL is the right 
way to go.

my indexing code:

Document doc = new Document();

doc.add(new StringField("id", url, Field.Store.YES));
doc.add(new StringField("domain", domain, Field.Store.NO));
doc.add(new StringField("title", pageTitle, Field.Store.NO));
doc.add(new TextField("body", pageBody, Field.Store.NO));
w.addDocument(doc);

Any ideas on how I can avoid the parsing issue?

I’m using Lucene 5.4.0
