## Class URLEncoder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.catalina.util.URLEncoder

-     public class URLEncoder
      extends Object

  This class is very similar to the java.net.URLEncoder class. Unfortunately, with java.net.URLEncoder there is no way to specify to the java.net.URLEncoder which characters should NOT be encoded. This code was moved from DefaultServlet.java
