Description

Some URL's are of the form

(a) http://www.example.com/test?item=pluto.apache.com

others are of the form

(b) http://www.example.com/test?item=pluto.apache.com/wiki?id=1234

In (b), the special characters get encoded as %F3's, etc. When it gets to processAction method in the portlet, the URI of concern (the 'item' parameter in this case) looks fine. By this parameters gets to the doView, everything after the '?' is lost. The patch I am including properly encodes the '?' such that the '?' is not misinterpreted. I have also added comments to the section of code pertaining to this, so that if there are other special characters that need to be handled in the future it is clear where these should be added.
