Hi,

thanks for giving reply as quickly.

when i am trying to post HTTP request with URL containing the unsafe char. when it will be encoded means while posting the HTTP Request or when request goes to requester application(Servlet or web app). Is any way to handle the unsafe char in web application or servlet.

I think you missed the link I shared in my last reply. now I suggest to hit that link and check URLEncoder and URLDecoder.
