Question

Razi Kheir · Answer

Sorry not sure what you mean by that I m currnetly using OkHttp client and calling a service that uses spring This will automatically be handled for me encoding parameters in URL

dave · Answer

when you construct your request as long as you use the http4k API all parts of the request will be encoded properly when it is sent over the wire see this test to see how to do that <https github com http4k http4k blob master http4k core src test kotlin org http4k core UriTest kt>

I don t see this being done automatically <https github com http4k http4k blob 220ed20d61089ffea026c54f46c49c0d9d8b88ca http4k core src main kotlin org http4k core Uri kt> Does this mean I need to call the static toPathEncoded when I add a uri

Razi Kheir · Answer

``` var ridUpdateUriPath = <http example com something weird $ $ member> Request POST ridUpdateUriPath ```

Razi Kheir · Answer

When I debug and look at the request object uri it still holds those characters I wonder if I am initialising it incorrectly

Razi Kheir · Answer

I also noticed this <https github com http4k http4k blob 24e6f4357dc6b082ef9af58e56032da7f32fe057 http4k core src main kotlin org http4k lens path kt L80> Sorry if I m miss undersanding Im just wondering if my simple requested posted above will actually go through automatic url encoding

```import org http4k client OkHttp import import org http4k core Request import org http4k core Response import org http4k core Status Companion OK import org http4k core Uri import org http4k server SunHttp import org http4k server asServer fun main re Request gt println re uri Response OK asServer SunHttp start val ridUpdateUriPath = something weird member println OkHttp Request POST Uri of port 8000 path ridUpdateUriPath ```

if you run that you get ``` something weird 20 member HTTP 1 1 200 OK date Wed 18 Sep 2019 15 34 24 GMT transfer encoding chunked```
