My string could potentially look something like this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; abc def/ghi__$jkl/0324aff<br />
<br />
I need to pass this string to a web page (PHP), via GET.<br />
<br />
But obviously, I can't just do:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; <a href="http://domain/page.php?str=abc" rel="ugc">http://domain/page.php?str=abc</a>&nbsp;def/ghi__$jkl/0324aff<br />
<br />
Because the parameter can only contain a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.<br />
<br />
So, in Java 1.3 here, I need to turn that string into something which is valid ....<br />
<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks

translate into http character codes - 1.3

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
