OKHttp3 Non-Encoded URL

Question

When I build the request as below:

new Request.Builder()
            .url("https://bla.com/entry/1411641")
            .build();

The 1411641 becomes https://bla.com/entry/%EF%BB%BF1411641

Is there a way to build the request without encoding the URL?

Are you sure this character was not there in your original URL? OKHttp would not add such a thing. — Henry, Dec 28 '17 at 07:27

You have a Unicode Character 'ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+FEFF) in your input, edit the text you copied and remove it.

UTF-8 (hex) 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF (efbbbf)

Use this :

new Request.Builder()
            .baseUrl("https://bla.com")
            .build();

and in interface

@GET("/entry/{id}/")
Call<ResponseBody> getData(@Path("id") String yourId);

Use This:

final Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(HttpUrl.parse("https://bla.com").newBuilder().addPathSegment("entry").addPathSegment("1411641").build())
                .post(formBody)
                .build();
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull Call call, @NonNull IOException e) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onResponse(@NonNull Call call, @NonNull final Response response) throws IOException {
            }
        });

This additional symbols is encoded byte order mask (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark). This hidden characters is conteined in file from which you copied (or programmatically read) id of entry.

Just skip this symbols when read your file. Or open this file with proper encoding.

Maybe this is it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33510700/excel-files-with-byte-order-mark-for-utf-8-causing-errors I will give that a shot. Thanks! – arin Dec 28 '17 at 17:50
