Question

I want to encode part of URL paramter in JAVA

http://statebuild-dev.com/iit-title/size.xml?id=(102T OR 140T)

to

http://statebuild-dev.com/iit-title/size.xml?id=(102%20OR%20140)

have tried using URI to encode but it also encodes ? which I do not want. In the URL I want to encode the part after ‘=’

URI uri = new URI("http", 
    "statebuild-dev.com/iit-title", "/size.xml?id=(102 OR 140)", null);
//URL url = uri.toURL();
System.out.println(uri.toString());
System.out.println(url1);

Thank You

This answer has a good discussion of encoding the various parts of a URI/URL. You’re on the right track, but your specific problem is that you have the various parts of the URI wrong. You need to use the multi-part constructor that takes an authority, path, query, and fragment:

URI uri = new URI("http", "statebuild-dev.com", "/iit-title/size.xml", "id=(102 or 104)", null);
System.out.println(uri.toString());
System.out.println(uri.toASCIIString());
