Hi

I have a java class which calls a JSP page using the URLConnection class,
I construct the URL e.g.

new URL("http://localhost:8080/mywebapp.index.jsp?name=fred smith");

I want to encode the string as a URL, i.e.

"http://localhost:8080/mywebapp.index.jsp?name=fred%20smith"

how can I do this?

URLEncoder doesnt seem to work as it puts '+' where the spaces should be,
and the URL class doesnt do it for you either.

many thanks in advance.
