Slugify the url in java

We upload files to Amazon AWS S3 server and use the file url in java class files to provide the functionality of downloading files.

if i upload the file as "Test Automated Report Sheet.pdf" (containing spaces between words) then the url for that is

https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.generalsentiment.com/MVR/reports/Test+Automated+Report+Sheet1.pdf

I am getting ArrayIndex Out of bound exception as the url contains '+' sign, therefore am replacing the '+' sign again with whitespace. here is the code for doing that. I am using

String reportURL = mediaValueReport.getReportFileURL().replace('+', ' ');

Is this approach fine or can i write it a more optimal way.

There is no need to do this manually . It is a standard for encoding and decoding of URL.

There are many helper liberaies that you can use e.g URLDecoder
