Class URLEncoder

public  class  java.net.URLEncoder
    extends  java.lang.Object  
{

}

The class contains a utility method for converting a String into a MIME format called "x- www-form-urlencoded" format.

To convert a String, each character is examined in turn:

• The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9' remain the same.
• The space character ' ' is converted into a plus sign '+'.
• All other characters are converted into the three-character string "%xy" where xy is the two-digit hexidecimal representation of the lower 16-bits of the character.

Methods
