    • formUrlEncode

      public static String formUrlEncode(NameValuePair[] pairs, String charset)
      Form-urlencoding routine. The default encoding for all forms is `application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. A form data set is represented in this media type as follows: The form field names and values are escaped: space characters are replaced by `+', and then reserved characters are escaped as per [URL]; that is, non-alphanumeric characters are replaced by `%HH', a percent sign and two hexadecimal digits representing the ASCII code of the character. Line breaks, as in multi-line text field values, are represented as CR LF pairs, i.e. `%0D%0A'.

      if the given charset is not supported, ISO-8859-1 is used instead.

      Parameters:
      pairs - the values to be encoded
      charset - the character set of pairs to be encoded
      Returns:
      the urlencoded pairs

    • getString

      public static String getString(byte[] data, int offset, int length, String charset)
      Converts the byte array of HTTP content characters to a string. If the specified charset is not supported, default system encoding is used.
      Parameters:
      data - the byte array to be encoded
      offset - the index of the first byte to encode
      length - the number of bytes to encode
      charset - the desired character encoding
      Returns:
      The result of the conversion.

    • getString

      public static String getString(byte[] data, String charset)
      Converts the byte array of HTTP content characters to a string. If the specified charset is not supported, default system encoding is used.
      Parameters:
      data - the byte array to be encoded
      charset - the desired character encoding
      Returns:
      The result of the conversion.

    • getBytes

      public static byte[] getBytes(String data, String charset)
      Converts the specified string to a byte array. If the charset is not supported the default system charset is used.
      Parameters:
      data - the string to be encoded
      charset - the desired character encoding
      Returns:
      The resulting byte array.

    • getAsciiBytes

      public static byte[] getAsciiBytes(String data)
      Converts the specified string to byte array of ASCII characters.
      Parameters:
      data - the string to be encoded
      Returns:
      The string as a byte array.

    • getAsciiString

      public static String getAsciiString(byte[] data, int offset, int length)
      Converts the byte array of ASCII characters to a string. This method is to be used when decoding content of HTTP elements (such as response headers)
      Parameters:
      data - the byte array to be encoded
      offset - the index of the first byte to encode
      length - the number of bytes to encode
      Returns:
      The string representation of the byte array
