Decode the path path of a URI.
Decode the path path of a URI. Each path segment will be decoded
using the same rules as decodePathSegment
Encoded slash characters are will appear as slashes in the output, thus "a/b" will be indistinguishable from "a%2Fb".
The string to decode. Must use the US-ASCII character set.
The name of the encoding that the output should be encoded with. The output string will be converted from octets (bytes) using this character encoding.
A decoded string in the outputCharset character set.
InvalidEncodingException If the input is not a valid encoded path.
Decode a string according to the rules for the "path segment" part of a URI.
Decode a string according to the rules for the "path segment"
part of a URI. A path segment is defined in RFC 3986. In a URI such
as http://www.example.com/abc/def?a=1&b=2 both abc and def
are path segments.
Path segment encoding differs from encoding for other parts of a URI. For example, the "&" character is permitted in a path segment, but has special meaning in query parameters. On the other hand, the "/" character cannot appear in a path segment, as it is the path delimiter, so it must be encoded as "%2F". These are just two examples of the differences between path segment and query string encoding; there are other differences too.
When decoding path segments the decodePathSegment method should always
be used in preference to the java.net.URLDecoder.decode(String,String)
method. URLDecoder.decode, despite its name, actually decodes
the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format which is the encoding
used for form data in HTTP GET and POST requests. This format is suitable
for inclusion in the query part of a URI. But URLDecoder.decoder should not
be used for path segment encoding or decoding.

Encode a string so that it can be used safely in the "path segment" part of a URI.

When encoding path segments the encodePathSegment method should always
be used in preference to the java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String,String)
method. URLEncoder.encode, despite its name, actually provides encoding
in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format which is the encoding
used for form data in HTTP GET and POST requests. This encoding is suitable
for inclusion in the query part of a URI. But URLEncoder.encode should not
be used for path segment encoding. (Also note that URLEncoder.encode is
not quite spec compliant. For example, it percent-encodes the ~ character when
really it should leave it as unencoded.)
The string to encode.
The name of the encoding that the string s is encoded with.
The string s will be converted to octets (bytes) using this character encoding.
An encoded string in the US-ASCII character set.
Provides support for correctly encoding pieces of URIs.
