I am encoding my query string with UTF-8 and appending to url as follows so it fails. This is the query string => art_id:queryText&start=0&rows=10&sort=score desc encoded url : http://localhost:8983/solr/TeamSite/select?q=art_id%3A183702815%26start%3D0% <http://localhost:8983/solr/TeamSite/select?q=art_id%3A183702815%26start%3D0 %%0A26rows%3D10%26sort%3Dscore+desc> 26rows%3D10%26sort%3Dscore+desc You do not need to encode the url parameter names themselves. You only need to encode the parameter values (i.e. after the equals operator). Using UTF-8 encoding is fine. So the correct url will look like the following: q=art_id:queryText&start=0&rows=10&sort=score desc -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
