Both HTTBuilder and http-builder-ng use the java.net.URI class to store
and manipulate URI information. java.net.URI has the following behavior:
1) If you set the full path using the single string constructor, URI
keeps the %2B in the URI.
2) If you set the path using the constructors that take the uri parts,
the path is url encoded
3) Extracting the path will always result in url decoding
Both libraries also always use the constructor that takes uri parts,
meaning you will always get the encoding and decoding that may be
causing you problems. The following groovy code shows the behavior:
def full = new URI('http://172.16.29.10/rest/TEST/c%2B%2B.doc')
def parts = new URI('http', '172.16.29.10', '/rest/TEST/c%2B%2B.doc', null)
println(full.toString())
println(full.path)
println(parts.toString())
println(parts.path)

OK ... then I guess that the REST service expects "+" to be enoded
(%2B). Is there a way to "enforce" the encoding of the plus sign to
"%2B" using the URIBuilder for uri.path? If I replace the plus
sign and assign the string to uri.path it gets encoded again (%252B)
by replacing the "%" with "%25" ...
Thanks in advance

Plus sign is legal in URI's so they don't need to get encoded to be legal:

This is complicated by the fact that they are url encoded when part of
the query string, but that's not what you are doing here. It sounds to
me like the problem is on the server or there some other part of your
request that is incorrect.
If there is a problem inside HTTPBuilder, you are probably out of
luck, that project has been dead for a while.
However, I have created a successor to HTTPBuilder called
http-builder-ng that is active here:
https://github.com/dwclark/http-builder-ng
It is NOT a backwards compatible upgrade. When I was examining the
original source code I found many threading issues, code duplication,
it was imposible to use @TypeChecked/@CompileStatic, and found it hard
to integrated different clients inside HTTPBuilder. The result of
these frustrations was a ground up re-write. Bug reports/pull requests
are encouraged.

Hi all,
I try to upload files via HTTPBuilder (Groovy Version: 2.4.7 JVM:
1.8.0_40 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Mac OS X). After a couple
of test I realized, that filenames containing a plus sign ("+")
can't be uploaded. The REST Service responds with HTTP/1.1 400 Bad
Request. After some more debugging I think these filenames will
not get encoded correctly:
uri.path = "/rest/" + objectNamespace + "/" + objectFile.name
groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder doRequest
FINE: PUT http://172.16.29.10/rest/TEST/s*pace%20space.doc* -
Filename: space\ space.doc - OK
groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder doRequest
FINE: PUT http://172.16.29.10/rest/TEST/*plus+plus.doc* -Filename
plus+plus.doc - ERROR
All other "special" characters like spaces, #, &, % or ? will
get encoded correctly ...
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Paolo
