Building up GET query params dynamically

I need to build up some GET query parameters dynamically (it's for an API wrapper). Is there some nice helper API that can let me just specify the parameters as simple name/value pairs and it'll turn it in to a nice query parameter string?

In 3.x there was method.setQueryString()[1] but I can't find an equivalent.

Thanks!

There will be UriBuilder included in the next feature release (4.2). For
the time being you could use a local copy of the class:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/client/utils/UriBuilder.java

The static method format in the URLEncodedUtils should be able to help
you with this: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/client/utils/URLEncodedUtils.html#format(java.util.List,
java.lang.String)
