I've got a GET method that looks like the following:
GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://host/path/?key=[\"item\",\"item\"]");
Such a path works just fine when typed directly into a browser, but the above line when run causes an IllegalArgumentException : Invalid URI.
I've looked at using the URIUtils class, but without success. Is there a way to automatically encode this (or to add a query string onto the URL without causing HttpClient to barf?).
