Error with http

[stratus]

I try to get some data from a web server.
The code is

Dim req As HttpRequest
dim query as string
query="Athens"
req.InitializeGet("http://openweathermap.org/data/2.1/find/name?q="& query)

It works fine.If i try this code
Dim req As HttpRequest
dim query as string
query="Los Angeles"
req.InitializeGet("http://openweathermap.org/data/2.1/find/name?q="& query)

the following error appears

I find that the problem is the space between Los and Angeles,but i can not find the solution

Tried this?

query="Los%20Angeles"

Have you tried

query="Los%20Angeles"

I tried "Los Angeles" and i see "Los%20Angeles" displayed. If I try with %20, it removes it.

Worth a try.

1. Use HttpUtils2 instead of HttpClient.
2. Use HttpJob.Download2. It will encode the query for you.
