Valid URL?

[Chris Berry <ch...@gmail.com>]

Greetings;

I am trying to implement a GData-style data service using Abdera
GData has a nice way of searching for Categories, which I  am  
implementing.
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/reference.html#Queries
But Abdera is barfing on the GData syntax.
It does not like the embedded "{}".

Is the following a valid URL:: http://localhost:60080/hcdata/v1/ 
rentals/trips/-/{urn:rentals.foo}test0

org.apache.abdera.protocol.client.ClientException:  
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri 'http://localhost: 
60080/hcdata/v1/rentals/trips/-/{urn:rentals.foo}test0': escaped  
absolute path not valid
         at org.apache.abdera.protocol.client.AbderaClient.execute 
(AbderaClient.java:415)
         at org.apache.abdera.protocol.client.AbderaClient.get 
(AbderaClient.java:129)
         at  
com.homeaway.hcdata.store.provider.hcdata.HcdataTestCase.clientGet 
(HcdataTestCase.java:139)
         at  
com.homeaway.hcdata.store.provider.hcdata.HcdataTestCase.clientGet 
(HcdataTestCase.java:117)
         at  
com.homeaway.hcdata.store.provider.hcdata.dbstore.DBstoreTestCase.getPag 
e(DBstoreTestCase.java:241)

Thanks,

Thanks.
I was confused because the GData doc was not encoding them -- but was  
others  (e.g. "|")

No, URLs cannot contain the { and } characters.  You'll need to
percent-encode those characters.
