`static java.util.Hashtable` | `parsePostData(int len, ServletInputStream in)` Deprecated. Parses data from an HTML form that the client sends to the server using the HTTP POST method and the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME type.
`static java.util.Hashtable` | `parseQueryString(java.lang.String s)` Deprecated. Parses a query string passed from the client to the server and builds a `HashTable` object with key-value pairs.

### HttpUtils

    public HttpUtils()

  Deprecated.
  Constructs an empty `HttpUtils` object.

Method Detail

### parseQueryString

    public static java.util.Hashtable parseQueryString(java.lang.String s)

  Deprecated.
  Parses a query string passed from the client to the server and builds a `HashTable` object with key-value pairs. The query string should be in the form of a string packaged by the GET or POST method, that is, it should have key-value pairs in the form key=value, with each pair separated from the next by a & character.

  A key can appear more than once in the query string with different values. However, the key appears only once in the hashtable, with its value being an array of strings containing the multiple values sent by the query string.

  The keys and values in the hashtable are stored in their decoded form, so any + characters are converted to spaces, and characters sent in hexadecimal notation (like %xx) are converted to ASCII characters.

  Parameters:
    `s` - a string containing the query to be parsed
  Returns:
    a `HashTable` object built from the parsed key-value pairs
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the query string is invalid

### parsePostData

    public static java.util.Hashtable parsePostData(int len,
                                                    ServletInputStream in)

  Deprecated.
  Parses data from an HTML form that the client sends to the server using the HTTP POST method and the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME type.

  The data sent by the POST method contains key-value pairs. A key can appear more than once in the POST data with different values. However, the key appears only once in the hashtable, with its value being an array of strings containing the multiple values sent by the POST method.

  The keys and values in the hashtable are stored in their decoded form, so any + characters are converted to spaces, and characters sent in hexadecimal notation (like %xx) are converted to ASCII characters.

  Parameters:
    `len` - an integer specifying the length, in characters, of the `ServletInputStream` object that is also passed to this method
    `in` - the `ServletInputStream` object that contains the data sent from the client
  Returns:
    a `HashTable` object built from the parsed key-value pairs
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the data sent by the POST method is invalid

### getRequestURL

    public static java.lang.StringBuffer getRequestURL(HttpServletRequest req)

  Deprecated.
  Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request, using information in the `HttpServletRequest` object. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.

  Because this method returns a `StringBuffer`, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.

  This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.

  Parameters:
    `req` - a `HttpServletRequest` object containing the client's request
  Returns:
    a `StringBuffer` object containing the reconstructed URL
