URI bug in HttpClient 3.1 Stable ?

[hefeng <he...@163.com>]

Hi,
I have an URI like this:
/action/getTicket?ticketNo=dced6ca9fd63f916e4b5d||786

In HttpClient 3.01, the creation of org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI like
this:
new URI("/action/getTicket?ticketNo=dced6ca9fd63f916e4b5d||786")
would be successful. While later I switched to the latest version of 3.1
stable, the creation threw an URIException:
org.apache.commons.httpclient.URIException: Invalid query
	at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI.parseUriReference(URI.java:2049)
	at org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI.<init>(URI.java:167)
	at test.URLTest.main(URLTest.java:26)

I didn't research too deeply on this problem, but I knew it's caused by the
encoding of these two characters "||" in the query string. I have no idea
what changes in the latest version affects the URI's encoding.
Has anyone met this problem like mine? 

Hef

That constructor is deprecated because it was ambiguous. Use
"new URI(String, boolean)" and pass false as the second argument
to tell the URI class that it is supposed to escape the query string.

Looking into the JavaDocs would have saved you some time...
http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient-3.x/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/URI.html
