HttpClient 3.1 to 4.0 migration: Encoding via URIUtil

[gredler]

Hi guys,

I'm migrating some code from HttpClient 3.1 to HttpClient 4.0. We were using
URIUtil in a couple of places (encodeQuery(), encodePath(), decode(), etc),
but I don't see any equivalent functionality in HC4. Does it exist? If not,
what was the reason for its removal, and is there some other library I
should be looking at instead? The closest thing I can find is Commons
Codec's URLCodec class, but (a) it behaves like java.net.URLEncoder
(replaces spaces with '+' chars instead of %20's), and (b) doesn't know
about differences in the allowed characters for the different parts of URLs.

Take care,

Daniel

The reason URI and URIUtils got replaced with the standard Java URI was
very simple: there was no one willing to maintain those classes.

There is a number of utility methods that help work around various
issues with the java.net.URI implementation but otherwise the standard
JRE classes should be sufficient, should not they?
