uri

Returns this URL as a java.net.URI. Because URI is more strict than this class, the returned URI may be semantically different from this URL:

• Characters forbidden by URI like [ and | will be escaped.
• Invalid percent-encoded sequences like %xx will be encoded like %25xx.
• Whitespace and control characters in the fragment will be stripped.

These differences may have a significant consequence when the URI is interpreted by a web server. For this reason the URI class and this method should be avoided.
