I’m using Jsoup to connect to a URL with a space in it but keep getting a URI syntax error. Any ideas on how deal with this?
Thanks!!

You should percent-encode URLs. Space is represented as %20.
Additionally, some characters/symbols are used as delimiters in URLs (&, ?, =, etc.) and thus they cannot be put in the URL unless they are meant as delimiters. For example, if you wanted to pass the string “1 &1” I would have to encode it as “1%20%261” or else it will not parse properly.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding for more details.
