Method Detail

formUrlEncode

public static java.lang.String formUrlEncode(NameValuePair[] pairs,
                                             java.lang.String charset)

Form-urlencoding routine. The default encoding for all forms is `application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. A form data set is represented in this media type as follows: The form field names and values are escaped: space characters are replaced by `+', and then reserved characters are escaped as per [URL]; that is, non-alphanumeric characters are replaced by `%HH', a percent sign and two hexadecimal digits representing the ASCII code of the character. Line breaks, as in multi-line text field values, are represented as CR LF pairs, i.e. `%0D%0A'.

Parameters:

pairs - the values to be encoded

charset - the character set of pairs to be encoded

Returns:

the urlencoded pairs
