URL encoding for latin characters in Java
- by sammichy
I'm trying to read in an image URL. As mentioned in the java documentation, I tried converting the URL to URI by
String imageURL = "http://www.shefinds.com/files/Christian-Louboutin-Décolleté-100-pumps.jpg";
URL url = new URL(imageURL);
url = new URI(url.getProtocol(), url.getHost(), url.getFile(), null).toURL();
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
I get the following error when the code is executed
http://www.shefinds.com/files/Christian-Louboutin-Décolleté-100-pumps.jpg
What am I doing wrong and what is the right way to encode this URL?
