Encoding URL query parameters

• java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String s, String encoding) can help too. It follows the HTML form encoding application/x-www-form-urlencoded. URLEncoder.encode(query, "UTF-8");
• URI uri = new URIBuilder(termsUrl).addParameter("X-Authorization",
                    "token " + token).build();
•  URI uri = new URI(https://jira.pearsoncmg.com/jira/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapid/charts/releaseburndownchart?rapidViewId=14141&versionId=1515");

•  String q = "random word £500 bank $";

   String url = "http://example.com/query?q=" + URLEncoder.encode(q, "UTF-8");
