Url Online Encoder

We are using Jersey Client 2.21. I am noticing that when we put curly braces (aka curly brackets) as a param value, then it does not get properly encoded. Not only that, but anything inside the curly braces does not get encoded either. This is not true for regular brackets or other unsafe characters that I have tested with.

Please see the example below. In this example I enter three params. A control param with just spaces. One with curly braces, and one with regular brackets.

public static void testJerseyEncoding() {    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();    String url = "http://foo.com/path";    Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();    map.put("paramWithCurly", " {with a space}");    map.put("paramWithOutCurly", "with a space");    map.put("paramWithBracket", "[with a space]");    WebTarget target = client.target(url);    for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {        target = target.queryParam(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());    }    System.out.println(target.toString());}

Here is the output:

JerseyWebTarget { http://foo.com/path?paramWithBracket=%5Bwith+a+space%5D&paramWithOutCurly=with+a+space&paramWithCurly=+{with a space} }

Is something broken with the Jersey Client or am I missing something? The curly braces should have been encoded to "%7B".

I am trying to write a windows client application that calls a web site for data. To keep the install to a minimum I am trying only use dlls in the .NET Framework Client Profile. Trouble is that I need to UrlEncode some parameters, is there an easy way to do this without importing System.Web.dll which is not part of the Client Pofile?

I have a problem URL-encoding a text with javascript.I am in Germany, where we have these "Umlaute" (ÄÖÜ), and these letters make some problems.

An online encoder/decoder returned the following results for the word "Äpfel" (apples).

Äpfel >>> url-encode >>> %C3%84pfel

%C3%84pfel >>> url-decode >>> Äpfel

For testing, I created the following php.file (poc.php) with no php-content, just the javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">    var t = "Äpfel";    t = encodeURI(t);    alert(t);    t = decodeURI(t);    alert(t);</script>

The first alert returns "%EF%BF%BDpfel", which differs from the result of the online encoder.

The second alert returns "�pfel" (yes, the diamond with the "?").

It seems that javascript cannot decode the text it just encoded.

I guess the cause of this behaviour is somewhere in the PHP settings. When I just rename the file from "poc.php" to "poc.html" the encoding is correct and the alerts return the same results as the online encoder/decoder.

When I check the current encoding, javascript and php return "utf-8".

In my "real" project I have a ".js" file included in my php-file (with the same problem).

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/functions.js"></script>

Has anybody an idea what causes this behaviour?

I'm trying to put a Twitter share link in an email. Because this is in an email I can't rely on JavaScript, and have to use the "Build Your Own" Tweet button.

For example, sharing a link to Google:

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http://www.google.com/>Tweet</a>

This works fine. The problem I'm having is when the URL has a query string.

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http://mysite.org/foo.htm?bar=123&baz=456">Tweet</a>

URLs with query strings confuse Twitter's URL shortening service, t.co. I've tried URL encoding this in various ways and cannot get anything to work. The closest I have gotten is by doing this.

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http://mysite.org/foo.htm%3Fbar%3D123%26baz%3D456">Tweet</a>

Here I've encoded only the query string. When I do this, t.co successfully shortens the URL, but upon following the shortened link, it takes you to the encoded URL. I see http://mysite.org/foo.htm%3Fbar%3D123%26baz%3D456 in the address bar, and get the following error in the browser

Not Found

The requested URL /foo.htm?bar=123&baz=456 was not found on this server.

I'm at a loss as to how to solve this problem.

Edit: Re: onteria_

I've tried encoding the entire URL. When I do that no URL shows up in the Tweet.

I have tried to follow the documentation but was not able to use urlparse.parse.quote_plus() in Python 3:

from urllib.parse import urlparseparams = urlparse.parse.quote_plus({'username': 'administrator', 'password': 'xyz'})

I get

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'parse'
