That URL needs to be encoded.  Either wrap it in some method that will
encode it, i.e. response.encodeURL(myURL).  If you're coming from a static
page and can't do that, the standard escape for a space is %20, so you could
rewrite your URL as http://webserver/servlets/test?John%20Chuck

Subject: question on getParameter()


Hi all,

I have a question regarding HttpServletRequest.getParameter().
In the servlet, i'm calling getParameter() to get the value that is
passed to the servlet through the following HTML statement:
<a href="http://webserver/servlets/test?John Chuck">

getParameter() starts reading the string after the ? and stops at the
space between John and Chuck.  If I removed the space, it will read all
the way to the double quote.  Is there any way I can pass any string
that contains space in between so that getParameter() will read all the
way until the double quote?

Thanks for your help.
