      Sets the authority.
      Parameters:
      authority - the authority.
      Returns:
      this instance.
      Since:
      5.2

    • setAuthority

      public URIBuilder setAuthority(URIAuthority authority)

      Parameters:
      charset - the Charset.
      Returns:
      this instance.

    • setEncodingPolicy

      public URIBuilder setEncodingPolicy(URIBuilder.EncodingPolicy encodingPolicy)
      Sets the encoding policy for this URIBuilder. The encoding policy determines how URI components (e.g., query, fragment) are percent-encoded when building the URI string. If not set, the default policy is URIBuilder.EncodingPolicy.RFC_3986.
      Parameters:
      encodingPolicy - the encoding policy to apply, or null to reset to the default (URIBuilder.EncodingPolicy.ALL_RESERVED)
      Returns:
      this URIBuilder instance for method chaining
      Since:

    • getAuthority

      public URIAuthority getAuthority()
      Gets the authority.
      Returns:
      the authority.
      Since:
      5.2

    • getCharset

      public Charset getCharset()
      Gets the Charset.
      Returns:
      the Charset.

    • setPlusAsBlank

      public URIBuilder setPlusAsBlank(boolean plusAsBlank)
      Sets whether the plus sign ('+') should be interpreted as a blank space (' ') when parsing the query parameters of the URI.

      In HTTP URLs, query strings may contain spaces encoded as '+' characters or as '%20'. This flag controls whether '+' is interpreted as a space or remains as a plus sign.

      If the query string was already set, calling this method will re-parse the query using the updated flag. This ensures that the query parameters are processed correctly based on the specified interpretation of the '+' character.

      Parameters:
      plusAsBlank - true to interpret '+' as a space, false to keep '+' as a literal plus sign.
      Returns:
      this URIBuilder instance for method chaining.
      Since:
      5.4

    • optimize

      public URIBuilder optimize()

      • percent encoding of all components is re-applied
