I tried to change the behaviour but failed to get a consistent result
because

testLinkUrlAcrossLineBreaks()

would then fail.

So I had to comment out the line that does the encoding again.

Otherwise the change is prepared

/**

*

Trims

whitespace

from

the

ends,

and

encodes

from

the

middle.

*

Spaces

within

quotes

are

respected.

*/

static

String encodeSpaces( String s ) {

s = s.trim();

// if no spaces we are fine

if

(s.indexOf(

' '

) < 0)

return

s;

boolean

inQuotes =

false

;

StringBuffer sb =

new

StringBuffer();

char

[] chars = s.toCharArray();

// loop over oper the chars of the URL

for

(

int

i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {

// get the current character

char

aChar = chars[i];

// toggle quotation and add quote

if

(aChar ==

'"'

|| aChar ==

'\''

) {

inQuotes = !inQuotes;

sb.append( aChar );

// append everything in quotes and printable chars above space

}

else

if

(inQuotes) {

sb.append( aChar );

}

else

if

(aChar >

' '

) {

sb.append( aChar );

}

else

if

(aChar==

' '

) {

// encode spaces

//

TODO

check what to do about breaking testLinkUrlAcrossLineBreaks then
...

// sb.append("%20");

}

}

return

sb.toString();

}
