Method Detail

decode

public static java.lang.String decode(java.lang.String s)

Decodes the argument which is assumed to be encoded in the x-www-form-urlencoded MIME content type using the specified encoding scheme.

'+' will be converted to space, '%' and two following hex digit characters are converted to the equivalent byte value. All other characters are passed through unmodified. For example "A+B+C %24%25" -> "A B C $%".

Parameters:

s - the encoded string

Returns:

the decoded clear-text representation of the given string

decodePath

public static TextualPath decodePath(java.lang.String pathString)

Decode a path, delimited with "/" characters. Note that decoding then looking for / characters isn't completely correct--that produces the wrong result if elements of the path contact URL encoded / characters not intended to be path delimiters. That's one reason for this method's existence--it first finds the / characters then decodes each element of the path, producing the correct result.

Parameters:

pathString - path string

Returns:

TextualPath, holding a list of strings forming the elements of the path
