Class UriUtils

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.util.UriUtils

public abstract class UriUtils
extends Object

Utility class for URI encoding and decoding based on RFC 3986. Offers encoding methods for the various URI components.

All encode*(String, String methods in this class operate in a similar way:

• Valid characters for the specific URI component as defined in RFC 3986 stay the same.
• All other characters are converted into one or more bytes in the given encoding scheme. Each of the resulting bytes is written as a hexadecimal string in the "%xy" format.

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

encodeUri

public static String encodeUri(String uri,
                               String encoding)
                        throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Deprecated. in favor of UriComponentsBuilder; see note about query param encoding

Encodes the given source URI into an encoded String. All various URI components are encoded according to their respective valid character sets.

Note that this method does not attempt to encode "=" and "&" characters in query parameter names and query parameter values because they cannot be parsed in a reliable way. Instead use:

  UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUri("/path?name={value}").buildAndExpand("a=b");
  String encodedUri = uriComponents.encode().toUriString();
 

Parameters:

uri - the URI to be encoded

encoding - the character encoding to encode to

Returns:

the encoded URI

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when the given uri parameter is not a valid URI

UnsupportedEncodingException - when the given encoding parameter is not supported

encodeHttpUrl

public static String encodeHttpUrl(String httpUrl,
                                   String encoding)
                            throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Deprecated. in favor of UriComponentsBuilder; see note about query param encoding

Encodes the given HTTP URI into an encoded String. All various URI components are encoded according to their respective valid character sets.

Note that this method does not support fragments (#), as these are not supposed to be sent to the server, but retained by the client.

Note that this method does not attempt to encode "=" and "&" characters in query parameter names and query parameter values because they cannot be parsed in a reliable way. Instead use:

  UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl("/path?name={value}").buildAndExpand("a=b");
  String encodedUri = uriComponents.encode().toUriString();
 

Parameters:

httpUrl - the HTTP URL to be encoded

encoding - the character encoding to encode to

Returns:

the encoded URL

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when the given uri parameter is not a valid URI

UnsupportedEncodingException - when the given encoding parameter is not supported

encodeUriComponents

public static String encodeUriComponents(String scheme,

                                         String host,
                                         String port,
                                         String path,

                                         String encoding)
