Closed as program error.
Error description
The HttpClient.getMethod(uri, true) or .getMethod(uri) method call is suppose to encode the uri string prior to making the http call. For example, change "my server" to "my%20server". However this does not work properly. Instead, "my server" is encoded as "my%2520server". It appears that the encode process first converts the space to %20, then converts the percent sign to %25. It should be the other way around. Additionally, if you pass an already encoded uri, for example from the results of a previous call, the method attempts to encode the already encoded string. So "my%20server" is re-encoded as "my%252520server". Since encoding is the default option this results in unexpected errors when using the .getMethod(uri) method.
