For example ..

Your method turns the query into this…
http://localhost:8080/test/select?q=fqdn\:b\*&facet=on&facet.date.start=NOW&facet.date.end=2012\-02\-05T13\:37\:29\+00\:00Z&facet.date=ending&facet.date.gap=\+7DAY&rows=25&wt=json

Making SOLR do this in the error log!

For example: Input: hello there Expected: hello there Actual: hello\ there This is giving problem as the final string will become as hello\+there when sent over HTTP. Regards, Satish. ClientUtils class is escaping the space also. For example:

Input: hello there
Expected: hello there
Actual: hello\ there

This is giving problem as the final string will become as hello\+there when sent over HTTP.

I've used SolrJ quite a bit before, but I never thought about validating it against the same behaviour. SolrJ also escapes " and ; which were missing from my list. I've added them now.
