Hi,

It throws exception, it looks like my URL contains “{” but this is required and cannot removed it:

Trouble is, by section 2.4.3 of RFC 2396, which defines URIs syntax, curly brackets, likes pipes are deemed unsafe, and Java’s standard class for URL just doesn’t accept them.

One way to bypass this is to encode your curly brackets.

Cheers,

Pierre

Thanks Pierre.

I encoded “{” and “}” to “%7B” and “%7D”, it works now.
