Method Detail

toUrlSafe

public static URL toUrlSafe(String url)

Constructs a URL instance based on the specified URL string, taking into account the fact that the specified URL string may represent an "about:..." URL, a "javascript:..." URL, or a data:... URL.

The caller should be sure that URL strings passed to this method will parse correctly as URLs, as this method never expects to have to handle MalformedURLExceptions.

Parameters:
url - the URL string to convert into a URL instance
Returns:
the constructed URL instance

toUrlUnsafe

public static URL toUrlUnsafe(String url)
                       throws MalformedURLException

Constructs a URL instance based on the specified URL string, taking into account the fact that the specified URL string may represent an "about:..." URL, a "javascript:..." URL, or a data:... URL.

Unlike toUrlSafe(String), the caller need not be sure that URL strings passed to this method will parse correctly as URLs.

Parameters:
url - the URL string to convert into a URL instance
Returns:
the constructed URL instance
Throws:
MalformedURLException - if the URL string cannot be converted to a URL instance

encodeUrl

public static URL encodeUrl(URL url,
                            boolean minimalQueryEncoding)

Encodes illegal characters in the specified URL's path, query string and anchor according to the URL encoding rules observed in real browsers.

For example, this method changes "http://first/?a=b c" to "http://first/?a=b%20c".

Parameters:
url - the URL to encode
minimalQueryEncoding - whether or not to perform minimal query encoding, like IE does
Returns:
the encoded URL
