  Java 1.4.2 URLEncode Encoding? 
 The Question is:
 
While using Java through Tomcat 4.1 and SDK 1.4.2, I am trying to encode a
 string using the URLEncoder class.  When I use this method on the Alpha
 machine it is appending random "^" symbols in the string.  This only happens
 on OpenVMS and not a PC environ
ment of the same code.
 
Example:
 
String myString = "hello$how are you$123";
String myEncodedString = URLEncoder.encode(myString,"UTF-8")
System.out.println(myEncodedString);
 
 
output:
"hello$how^+are^+you$123";
 
This should be:
 
"hello$how+are+you$123";
 
Why does this behavior occur?
 The Answer is :
 
  Please contact the support center, as attempts to reproduce this
  have failed -- information on the current configuration and the
  run-time environment, associated product versions and ECOs, and
  the full JSP will likely be required.
