Connection String Breaks when headerline contains '%' char

When using a URL string to connect to the database, encode property values containing special characters using class java.net.URLEncoder. For example,

String encoded = URLEncoder.encode("America/Los_Angeles", "UTF-8");
System.out.println(encoded);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:relique:csv:/tmp?timeZoneName=" + encoded + "&fileExtension=.log");

This is the same method that you would use for encoding a HTTP request.

May I suggest something like the following in the connect() method, so that a headerline property inserted using a Properties object is handled the same as one where the headerline is specified in the URL?

try {
key = URLDecoder.decode(property[0], "UTF-8");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e){
key = property[0];
}
try {
value = URLDecoder.decode(property[1], "UTF-8");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e){
value = property[1];
}

No, we cannot make this change.

This would result in currently correct property values (here, a fileTailPattern) such as

-(\d+)-(\d+)

being changed to

-(\d )-(\d )

which is not we want.

This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog well, almostHaHa! Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
