map2URLEncoded

public static String map2URLEncoded(Map params)

Converts a map to URL- encoded string. This is a convenience method which can be used in combination with post(String, byte[]), put(String, String) and others. It makes it easy to convert parameters to submit a string:

     key=value&key1=value1;
 

Parameters:

params - map with keys and values to be posted. This map is used to build a URL-encoded string, such that keys are names of parameters, and values are values of those parameters. This method will also URL-encode keys and content using UTF-8 encoding.

String representations of both keys and values are used.

Returns:

URL-encided string like: key=value&key1=value1;
