The class contains a utility method for converting a `String` into a MIME format called "`x-www-form-urlencoded`" format.

- The ASCII characters '`a`' through '`z`', '`A`' through '`Z`', '`0`' through '`9`', and ".", "-", "*", "_" remain the same.
- The space character '`` ' is converted into a plus sign '`+`'.
- All other characters are converted into the 3-character string "`%xy`", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the character.

Since:
  JDK1.0
