------------------------------------------------------------------
There is one last thing I want to say here.
It's about URI::getQuery and my understanding of the words escaping and
encoding in Java. In my mind
At [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/URI.html#decode] we have
{quote}The getUserInfo, getPath, getQuery, getFragment, getAuthority, and
getSchemeSpecificPart methods decode any +*escaped*+ octets in their
corresponding components. The strings returned by these methods may contain
both other characters and illegal characters, and will not contain any escaped
octets.
{quote}
I read it too fast so I thought that I could use it to +*unescape*+ a query
where ampersand is used. I was wrong and that leads me to some troubles.
More information at
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48776437/uri-getrawquery-vs-getquery]
There follow the link
[https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8214423] and read the
comment which is more clear.
Hope that can help someone one day.
